I'm glad I no longer work offshore, but I believe that this safety review should have started at Gatwick, then Brussels, and then the oil companies who have slashed costs and compromised safety by their cheap attitude for so long.
I expect Shell Management will be along shortly to justify the behaviour of the oil companies, but I personally will take a lot of persuading that current practise as defined in legislation is best practise.
I am not SM but I do work on the customer side. As I have said before, I think that much of the responsibility lies with the helicopter companies who have had to be dragged kicking and screaming into buying new aircraft. Thank goodness that industry has demanded newer aircraft, otherwise 30+ year old 332Ls would still be on offer........oh, wait a minute......
