In Post 16 [dated 2012] I reported the negative attitude of Sikorsky to the 434 [and therefore by default the 333] - well in 2013 I can report that that has not improved one iota.
Last month San Antonio PD in Texas [arguably the biggest fleet user] announced new orders or Eurocopter..... thereby announcing by default it is giving up its 333 fleet shortly.
The 333 looks like being a niche airframe flown as and when someone breaks another one.
The situation with the S300/269 looks little better
