I don't agree that your 206 is safer than an S-92. Although you maybe able to make a statistical argument fit, if you performed similar operations with your Bell 206 in the same conditions as an S-92, the argument may not hold true. I don't know whether or not you fly or have flown the S-92, I suspect not by your somewhat disparate comparisons. Certainly my S-92 does not stay awake at night wishing it were a Bell 206 and neither, like you, do I pray that it becomes one.

I am sure that Thridle Op Des will be more able to answer your points regarding Airbus tail fins and PIO as well as being able to make a valid comparison with helicopters since he has thousands of hours on both big helicopters and big planes.
