Isn't there a more immediate problem? It would be reasonable to conclude from this incident and others before it that there are other helicopter crews flying daily who may be vulnerable to a repeat of this or a similar incident. We can't wait for a revamp of the training system. Surely the CAA needs to take action NOW to review each company's ops management, training, competency etc etc with urgency. Or even place restrictions on night/IFR offshore departures e.g. only using crew with specified levels of experience and currency to fly those trips.

I'd love to know what the eight "long straw holders" on that aircraft now think about their means of transport to work.
