What I'm saying is throwing more money at training and fancy helicopters might not be the solution....the Op I gave example too is perfectly safe, not because we have a $15m+ helicopter with all the bells and whilstles and simulator trained crews and the rest of it.
It is nowhere near
perfectly safe. You just haven’t crashed yet. The way you are describing your operation is pretty much the lead up to the majority of CFIT accidents around the world.
It does not matter how much experience the guys in the front have and how much they hit eachother. The fact that you believe that experience alone will prevent you from having a CFIT is scary. The fact that you think 3000hrs in an IFR machine is a lot and experienced is also scary. The fact that you think you are safe is borderline criminal.
