The S92 is no longer considered by many to meet the industry's safety aspirations.
This is quite a damning statement, coming from someone who purports to be in management of the Shell Oil Company.
What does this tell us? The S-92 and the AB/W-139 are the newest, bestest designs out there. Their manufacturers tell us they they were designed to meet the most stringent safety standards...to "raise the bar" when it came to safety, blah blah blah.
And at the end of the day they still have the same ol' issues. Transmissions fail at inopportune times, tailbooms fold when they shouldn't.
How far have we come...I mean, really...since the S-61?
The S92 is no longer considered by many to meet the industry's safety aspirations.
Great. Just f*cking great.
