Does anyuone have anything sensible to say?
CHC won the contract. Let them get on with it. Let them see how the aircraft develop. Look to the future instead of giving it a kicking before it even happens.
The Mil SARF is in a bit of a state serviceability wise. If CHC can point the way forward - good on them.
Bitching about things like aircraft selection now will not change anything so why waste your keyboards.
Rant over.
