I agree, but until 18 or 19 bears squeeze into the back of a Superpuma type we will not know if the current paradigm has survived this incident. And they are not back in them yet, and I have heard of no plans for the first flights.
Edited to add: I would imagine the extra revenue would be marginal, and certainly not 18/14 x current revenue. Not all flights are full, and not all fourth rotation flights are used -- most of the money comes from the standing charge not the flight time, if I understand the contract model correctly.
