js0987 - I'd heard the same and that one rapid change was to transfer Pan African Airways, who were flying that 412 from the control of Air Log to 'proper' Bristow to cure some major operational management shortcomings of the US run operation.

Jetboxer - On the L2 there has certainly been an exchange of information informally here in the Netherlands as their were some strong inter-company ties with the crew and a great interest in the SAR capability JSAR provided to all.

That accident is subject to an official De Onderzoeksraad Voor Veiligheid investigation which would make it difficult for an air operator to release their own report to other operators - which would be rare, yes?

The Board do not act fast but perhaps faster than the investigators in Nigeria, yes? Their limited aviation expertise will have been diverted by the Turkish 737 accident last year. Yet, there has been an interim report, a preliminary report and an Airworthiness Directive all very soon after the accident: Noodlanding in zee, Bristow AS322L2 Search and rescue helicopter, Noordzee nabij Den Helder - De Onderzoeksraad voor veiligheid
Are you not seeing smoke when there is no fire?

A few years back you wrote

Then perhaps you should have a few friends from their crew rooms you can talk to.
