It does have the potential to disrupt a big industry particularly considering that all the Sidney Kidmans' are on their heals and ready to race after what has been a pleasant reprieve after the last 8 years or so. A wet season like this will be beneficial not only this year but for a few to come also.
Considering the repurcussions of a "grounding" I don't think that will happen. It would be more likely that a SB will be issued stating additional attention to the blade roots during daily inspections with diagrams and measurements etc. followed up by an AD from CASA somewhere in the second round!
It could turn to **** for a few that actually find a delam.
Robinson really need to sort their blade issues out.
You might have to ferry a few of those 47's north and get in amongst it old school if the worst were to happen.

If that 12E story is true than old mate is the stupidest and most precise man with a hacksaw I have ever heard of. Not to mention fit, with f$#@en good blades.
