HC.....could we avoid going back through another rehash of bashing the 92 and just stick to the issue at hand. The 225 MGB problems has effectively grounded the aircraft, destroyed faith amongst its passengers, and caused a hell of a disaster for the Operators and Customers.

The cause of the problem, the cure for the problem, and whether the reputation of the 225 can be salvaged....are what needs to be discussed.

We are not here to compare the 92, 225, and 139 to each other.

We are here seeking answers to the problems extant for the 225, EC, and the Operators.

I know it must be annoying to see the 92 prevail over the 225 as you certainly had a lot of "stock" in the 225 and spent a great deal of time talking down the 92 while extolling the many virtues of the 225 as you saw them then.

So....when can we expect to see some resolution of this problem with the 225 MGB? What effect has this had on the Operator's profitability? Are the Operators going to file suit against EC? What is EC's Liability here? How bad has the damage to the 225's reputation has occurred? Tell us your thoughts on those issues and leave off harping on the 92 please.
