It should not matter if we are a fleet operator or an individual -of course it makes commercial sense to look after the former however it is more expensive to run an inefficient organisation than an efficient one. Eurocopter could employ a low level statistician which would give them a very clear idea of spares inventory required-they could take a higher level one and even know from where the demands would come. It is just poor management.
Sadly the directors are over paid and under whelming. The great cry that if you pay peanuts you get monkeys-in this case we have monkeys eating caviar which causes dysentery.
