it would be better for everyone if you stopped reading it.
No, but it might be better for everyone if comments not germane, or personal attacks, were not presented. (By your addressee and any of the rest of us).

In re the post by belly tank:

"We are trying to bring in helicopters where we can, but there's not a lot of them just lying about," says CHC Scotia.

Its comments are echoed by Bond: "The whole industry up there has been thrown up in the air. We are trying to bring in additional assets but there is a chronic shortage of airframes."
It appears that when operating at certain margins to make a profit, the ability to have airframes in reserve cannot be met for a fleet grounding.

Some crashes have more profound after effects than others, and I suspect this is one of those.
