Mechta, yours is a sound idea.
But do you know one of the most effective ways this could be accomplished?
Well let me tell you first of all how it could be stifled. If you leave it to the operators to sort it out among themselves it will never happen because there will be suspicions as to allegiances and agenda.
If you give it to the authority they will draw-up some fabulous list of requirements any such task force would need to possess and in the process most likely circumvent those who could realistically offer the most (ie. the retired jocks and spanners you suggest).
One of the areas in which you might therefore find the most support, is from the bears themselves. A North Sea Helicopter Operations Task Force comprised of retired pilots and engineers, supported in their mission by offshore workers and paid for by Oilco Plc.
I encourage to pursue what you have proposed.
