You can believe what Steve76 says.
Of course, we do not know if HNG maintenance has any bearing on this accident so we shouldn't go down that road as far as I'm concerned.

As to machines "being put away wet," actually they don't even get put away much. They have to endure that wet climate continuously, but really there is not much difference between the operators. Look at the pilots that have been here a while. They swap from one to the other, looking for improvement, but when it all comes down to it the companies are all the same in the long run.

"The management of all the companies are their own worst enemy."

True as well. But you're unlikely to get top class abilities and personalities into a management position in that environment. The smart people are just to smart to do it to themselves. This doesn't just apply to aviation companies though.

If you find the flying environment not too difficult (I agree with that) you'll find dealing with the management of both the clients and operators will at least make for an interesting challenge. As the saying goes you need to be a misfit, missionary, or mercenary to be there. Management are generally numbers one and/or three, very rarely are they a two.
