Matari - you persist in your line and ignore my question about the actual benefits - if any. Therefore, until you prove me wrong I will have to assume that you can't actually quantify the benefits. Perhaps you too are taken in by the glossy spiel?
ps can't help noticing that your profile says "sales manager". Does that tell us something?
Flyer - fair point but unfortunately everyone is in it for the money - the OEMs, the Operators, the Oil companies and even the pilots. Especially the oil companies (just for you!). Why should the OEMs give stuff away for free when the Operators and Oil Cos are making a profit (and the pilots are scraping a meagre living). I don't recall receiving any free petrol recently!
OMB - surely HUMS is a key issue in this ditching and for once, I don't see thread drift.
