Poor Doug steps into the cabin at 5:45. and has to sit through the whole demonstration, head-and-eyes forward... he might still be in the bird.
I was wondering, the Super-Medium market has been around for some time now, with the Agusta/Bell-13... sorry, Agusta/Westland 139 , AW189, S-92, and H175 filling most of the long-offshore market.
For the onshore, and near-offshore, we see the AW139, AW169, EC145, H160, H155, and legacy S-76, AS365, and Bell 412s in the mix.
What will convince operators to adopt/switch to the Bell 525 (which is say, 6-8 years late to the category party) and not to say, replace a high-time AW189 with a new AW189?
