Unfortunately for Duncan, people are going to jump to conclusions. An outsider, reviewing CHC's strategy of selling off their training assets and outsourcing a good chunk of their training for no reason other than increasing capital and profit, would conclude that they were not really interested in quality of training, merely ticking a box to satisfy the minimum standard.
Personally, having done my L2 conversion at CHC I am aware that the standard was similar to Bristow at the time (10 years ago), although I do wonder if that is still the case, despite the best efforts of the folk at the sharp end. Not many outside observers are in my position though.
