3 weeks ago an EC225 crashed killing everyone on board for an as yet unknown reason.
....5 days ago an A320 crashed killing everyone on board for an as yet unknown reason.

How many offshore workers have since flown out of/back to Aberdeen on A320s without a murmur?

Ask them to get on a 225: "no chance"!
A few points:
We know without a doubt the reason the EC225 crashed: the entire rotor system detached. (The cause for the detachment is under investigation.)

If over the last decade two A320 variants had been found in the ocean, 15nm from their wings. Then 3 weeks ago someone filmed a pair of wings flying down like sycamore seeds, with smoke rising from a crater in the distance, then maybe they would be grounded and/or the traveling public might vote with their feet.
