Some of the comments being made in this thread are showing the ignorance of the posters. The standards of engineers and aircrew in the North Sea is some of the highest in the world and we should be praising all 3 operators. Ths is a situation of the helicopter operators having to fight rumour mongers and those with "little knowledge" i.e. P&J reporters, Union Officials and a tiny minority of offshore "roughy toughy North Sea tigers" who piss their pants at the slightest turbulence but are all "aviation experts".
Come on guys let's stick together for the good of aviation, this is about the reputation of aviation professionals not ripping into a company who has had the bad luck that could have landed on one of the other 2 operators.
