If BHL had refrained from their "It's not in the contract, they haven't paid for it, take it out attitude" maybe things would have been different.
Oh so true!
Recall the Bristow attitude towards installing GPS in the Nigeria based aircraft?
Comments like...."Oh...that Yank DOD thing?" "Too expensive!" "Its not in the contract....who is going to pay for it?
Then....along comes the Nigerian CAA and mandates GPS!
Then...."Well...when it goes U/S we aren't going to repair it!"
Once the crews got used to having GPS...being able to find their way around in the Fog, Mist, Cloud, Rain, and Dust....."that Yank DOD thing" became a necessity!
