highlander and any other sensitive types....

Having suffered a genuine t/r failure in the past and survived and having to now fly the 139 for a living with all the speculation, let me assure you all I take my flight safety very seriously.

I don't know whats wrong with the aircraft.... But like you H, I am forced to continue operating in this type to pay my mortgage and keep the wolves at bay... Do you really think I'm happy??

I am waiting for a full and comprehensive assessment from AW....

The type of sling work and SAR we often do in the curve up to 10,000ft puts the airframe
right in the groove, but I'm happy with it and it has not let me down yet... I hope that continues... I will continue with very careful pre-flights as I actually do care about the safety of me and my crew (and pax H).

fcuk taxi driving...I'd rather work in a bar.

Safe flying to all and lets hope AW can get this sorted....

Senior pilot.... no comment
