sox6, I'd be more worried about how long it has taken hc to admit his part in attempting to keep safety out of helicopters!
The data I have is not proprietary, it is a public pitch.
The canvassing of various competitors is common practice, even you do it when you visit different car dealers. Do you think the French have a brochure that lays out the various deviations and regressions they have taken so that thier customers know the real status of their helicopters? I recall a press release where they announced the IFR cert in bold statement that it met "the latest JAR regulations" without explaining that the underlying helicopter did not!
BTW, did you ever wonder why you should believe anything that has been posted by a person who won't admit his name?
