Yeah it may be getting certified for 9 but when you look inside you get the impression it might fit 5 rig workers maximum.
Theres also the pop-out windows vs pressurisation issue and thats just the tip of the iceberg to get it offshore ready.
I doubt it will ever be used in that role, in fact i think the whole aircraft is borderline commercially viable.
I say put a gun on it and make it a combat escort for the V-22, that would be a great team!
