Perhaps I am wrong but don't the Oil Companies (The Customer) have aviation experts and safety operations that are supposed to be monitoring and auditing helicopter operations?
It gets back to my point the Customer/The Oil Companies are the folks that dictate the standards for their operations.
Why then are the Operators, Regulators, and other service providers allowed to get away with this perceived lack of safety and compliance with standards?
When I buy a bag of Dorito's I expect them to be fresh, ready to eat, and in a sealed bag that promises me they are safe from tampering.......why not the helicopter industry?
