Was there any history of gearbox problems on Super Pumas / 225's prior to the 85N tragedy ?
Would seem odd that it has just become prevelant in last three years or am I being a bit oversimplistic ?
My personal opinion is that if you guys are happy to fly the aircraft every day then I think my hour and a half each way every month is no big deal, unfortnately a fair few of the punters offshore don't think the same so may have to find a new line of work .
