It was mentioned in the User Group meeting last month. Minutes are imminent!
I'm looking at it from a pragmatic viewpoint (perhaps naively).
On the one hand, ECD want to show to the world what this a/c is capable of. I.e. that she can run and run with minimum maintenance - a great
PR puller.
On the other hand, the engineers and pilots who operate the a/c perhaps need to consider a new mind set, in that these relatively new generation a/c are technologically streets ahead of the wessex/seaking/lynx's/squirrels/206's of this world in terms of maintenance! However, there is a need for frequent maintenace windows.
And somewhere in between lies the optimum solution.
