You are simply being uncharitable and picking on some minor difficulties (hangar rash, baggage bay confusion & aircon - what piffiling nonsense). No doubt an unadventurous and short sighted keeness to simply / lazily move from a B212 to B412 is colouring your judgement.

Correct - lets return to the S-92 (with its FAA certified MRGB and its slightly more serious issues).

Pehaps if Shell Aircraft were more active and based advisors full time at Sikorksy advising and supervising during the S-92 design process then perhaps the S-92 would have been a much better design without the repeated drama and fatalities. With workers on both sides of the Atlantic asking serious questions about the safety of the S-92 it is clear the S-92 has been a major disappointment and could go the way of the BV234 unless there is soon a miracle of product improvement.
Perhaps maxNG would like to comment but no doubt the chances of the tragic accident off Canada would have been less if Shell was one of the operators there and Shell's industry leading standards were applied rather than the rather weak minima of Canadian laws which I'm sure JimL will confirm have none of the rigour of JAR-OPS 3 when it comes to offshore operations.
