Industry Insider, I feel your grief, I really do.
As I stated earlier, this tragedy can be turned to some good if it will be used by operators and clients to regroup and form a better understanding of what improvements can be made to helicopter operations overall.
However, regarding your comments, what I don't understand is - if your contracts are stipulating a maximum age on equipment, why are operators submitting proposals which incorporate the use of older ones? Wouldn't this invalidate their tender?
