Haha. You don't happen to work for Bristow, do you? (Or even Eurocopter, for that matter). That sounds like the sort of pro-225 propaganda that they like to trot out.
Eurocopter haven't even been able to replicate the cause of the shaft failures. If they don't even know how it is breaking, how on earth do you expect them to be able to fix it?
IMHO, the 225 is a long way away from being 'back in service soon'.
