I'd settle for a job sling-loading plastic dog ****e out of Hong Kong in a R22...if it meant I was in the air.
I think the 'new' tilt-rotor technology is amazing & the application potential is there, but the aircraft are just not meeting all the benchmarks they were supposed to exceed, except price. When the aircraft perfoms as well as current helo's, then maintains a significant speed, fuel & price advantage, then it will be viable.
No point having to take 2x or 3x (very expensive) V-22 aircraft & do multiple trips albeit a little quicker than other aircraft, when you could do the same job with a single aircraft, in a single trip, moderately slower at a fraction of the cost.
I might not be the sharpest tool in the shed... but I can add (& subtract, & multiple & divide
