Have to agree with all that's been said so far. Leaseback to a training organisation will never make the aircraft pay for itself - and a suspected tail rotor gearbox problem on my R44 cost me thousands that I hadn't budgeted for. Funny thing was, the noisy gearbox was only discovered when the aircraft was being retrieved from a week of work with a certain operator who shall remain nameless. Of course, they swore blind that it had 'only just started to be noisy' and 'no, of course we didn't do anything out of the ordinary with it'. Hmmm.... Maybe there should be more helicopter syndicates. I for one would be interested.
