Non aviation savvy people have no idea what they are and aren’t signing up for. All they see is a fancy looking helicopter and have no idea of the helicopter, company or pilot’s capability/approvals.
Most clients don’t know what they don’t know, and the expectation is that the industry should protect them but sadly that’s not always the case.
Most high nett worth clients/owners have no problems paying for higher/better capabilities and when they have it explained to them what they’re getting. But if they don’t know what questions to ask, then they just accept status quo or believe what the snake oil salesmen are selling them.
