That's not only a bit harsh but remarkably insulting to Brian: a simple check would tell you that he has had a stellar career in helicopters over the past 45 or so years. Esso is well known for excellent maintenance and Brian's experience on the S76 flying for Esso does not deserve your comments, even if your experience of the C30 is less fortunate.
Indeed, my time with the S76A (Okanagan Australia) in the early years had very few engine problems and certainly no failures of note. Does that make me similarly 'uninformed'?
