Once the 92 is established on a Contract...having replaced the 225....how long will it take for the Customers to change back to the 225 without incurring costs that would make sticking with the 92 until the end of the contract?
Then...with the advantage of being on the contract...for those not in the North Sea Sectors...what costs would attend to changing aircraft for the new contract with the 92 already being on site and operating with the engineers, spares, and special equipment already in country?
I am sure Total and a few of the French Companies very much would prefer French machines but even they at some point have to consider costs I should think.
