If it is 1 year, there are not enough spare 332Ls with functioning MGBs or S-92s around to make up the deficit. The oil companies will be looking for a way to not continue to pay the operators, who won't be making enough revenue to pay the banks. How long before some jobs may have to go?
and this is the great dilemma isn't it? The pressure on EC to find a workable solution based on real science is immense. We can fly the 225 like a L/L2 with no Emerg Lube but whether this will be acceptable to all, who knows. The Sea King that is being replaced with new technology has had it for about 20 years...
