Sorry SASless,
I am GA, and we have a very good working relationship with our regional, never had the pleasure of Airline Commercial.
The concerns on the AB and B is liability, not safety, ask any engineer and you will most likely get the same response, after all most Agusta parts are originally Bell, its just they have gone through a paperwork exercise with Agusta Quality Dept.
Fortunately SAS, there will always be GA.
