Alt3, I'm not holding my breath either. What I really think will happen is little if anything. I agree that the accident rate isn't as bad as people assume, given the number of helicopters flying EMS in total. The largest companies have ~100 each, and there are literally dozens of smaller companies with a few each, some private operations, some operating for hospitals, a few like Maryland done with public use aircraft. The rate needs to go down, but I don't have any answers. The spate of recent crashes has a plethora of causes, and I see no common denominator. Every so often defecation occurs, no matter what is done to prevent it.
