Offshorebear, good question. It will all be down to politics and not to any technical reasoning. The problem will be that as soon as one of the pilot's farts, it will make front page headlines. As we know, cockpit warning lights come on fairly often, typically either a false alarm or showing a reduction in redundancy. Typically the response to that is that the safest course of action is to return to base, not least because of the difficulties of effecting any repairs offshore. I wonder how many trivial RTBs the fleet can politically survive.
You guys who take the sensible approach can perhaps do your part by being as vociferously positive in your views as the "Destroy the Pumas" lot are negative, rather than sitting quietly and sheepishly in the corner!
