Interesting that all the European operators are taking their training to the US. Any feedback from the flying schools in the UK and the rest of Europe? I've heard that helicopter training is a dying industry in Europe because the Bristow, CHC and now Bond just takes it to a jurisdiction where it is most efficient. What about all the blah, blah about JAR standards and how much better and safer the JAA system of training pilots is? Sounds like nobody has bought in and now the regulators have killed the industry they were supposed to support.
