HC said, "you, as a major competitor, would not have access to what went on behind closed doors between OLOG and EC. At the time of the initial purchase of the 225s OLOG was not involved."
heliprocrastinator, who do you think corrected your mistaken year 2001 "study" that showed the payload of the S92 as 1300 lbs too low? Who do you think showed O Log the data to prove the true safety posture of the 225, which the French did their best to obscure (as you continue to do)?
The "initial" purchase decision was probably made by Bristow years earlier, as you say, but the actual sale was made only after O Log's approval, since by that time Bristow was owned by O Log. That O Log approval was ONLY granted when the French acquiesced and designed the stroking seats. No thanks to Bristow, or you.
