From what I hear, there is a bulletin out on the turbine blades, some were defective and recalled, but more were found defective when they were inspected. Rolls-Royce may have a big problem here. The PHI fleet has been grounded indefinitely, it seems, and are being covered by 206s for the time being. It might behoove other operators to do the same thing. People are dying in 407s, and not inspecting them could be found to be negligence if lawsuits were to be filed, leading to very large jury awards. Rolls-Royce could have lots of liability here. Just speculation, you understand.
