As the crew survived....hopefully in time an honest, frank, lessons learned statement might be forthcoming by the crew.

Rather than heaping blame and insult on the crew, perhaps we should be glad the accident turned out the way it did and thus it can be used to improve policy, procedure, and perhaps even mindset about offshore shuttle operations.

This a perfect situation for being turned into something useful if CHC, the Crew, CAA, and AAIB can find a way to do so. If I were to be involved as a crew member I would certainly prefer to see such a thing rather than being held up for a game of Pin the Tail on the Donkey.

The beauty of this event is no one got hurt and only some sheet metal and cast iron got bent thus no great liability to admitting to what one's role in the matter was.

In a perfect world, and a sincere safety culture, that is what would happen....a good analysis and published lessons learned.
