aiwave, I think you have been reading the press and watching too much TV. Yes there certainly is a loud and ill informed movement to "destroy the Super Puma's" (sic) but that is just hysterical froth whipped up by fools. Of the few SLFs that I know personally, all take the pragmatic view that there is nothing particularly wrong with the SP family, after all they have spent many years flying in them - although of course they would prefer not to have to fly in a rather cramped and uncomfortable helicopter at all!

If the ignorant masses get to decide by mob rule what helicopters are operated, we are all doomed (well, they are doomed anyway) but, depending on the cause of this latest accident, hopefully that won't happen.
