False Economy
Can't afford NVG's at $10K U.S. per set? Well, let's see: One equipped S-76, approximately $5M U.S.; 4 (at a minimum) lawsuits at $2M U.S. apiece; loss of good will (??? $$$)...
In round terms, that's $13 million Bucks just for starters.
NVG's, $10K per set, NVG aircraft mods, $20K per ship, training at $5K per pilot...that's $40K to get a ship and crew ready on the line. Dividing, it seems like that $13 million loss could provide 325 crewed and equipped aircraft.
Any CEO who still thinks NVG operations are too expensive should not be a CEO, he should be a college freshman retaking Accounting 101.
