Burger, all good points but there is some need for accuracy here. I understand that the central Qld operator you refer to now no-longer exists. The tail rotor strike occurred to another operator working under contract. The ATSB report for the ditching has not been issued yet.
I believe that often, many operators particularly in EMS and police support get themselves into trouble more through ignorance rather than malice. The ones that do get into trouble have rarely looked at the big picture thinking that, for example, having an experienced pilot will answer all the issues. When it comes to managing anything, I believe it is the management capability that is more important than any particular specialisation. Good managers listen to their experts and seek out information to help them make decisions.
Alas, good managers are very few and far between.
