Without appearing to trade racism for sexism (jeez, these new protocols are more dangerous than combat), but didn't another Bristow crew ditch a perfectly good helicopter, at night, offshore, full of passengers and without liferafts, because the commander thought something didn't "feel" right. In the North Sea a few years ago, between the UK and Netherlands. I saw the pictures right here on PPRUNE.
Maybe the navel-gazing by Bristow should go deeper than just Nigeria. What did that incident have in common with this one?
