I stated that it was a personal view. Bond Helicopters and the NPAS are subject to commercial pressures to keep the aircraft in the air for as long as possible to maximise their financial return. I'm sure they have had teams of very expensive and well trained engineers and accountants calculate exactly how far the limits can be pushed before an accident occurs. Personally, I don't want to be up against those limits in any aircraft that I am responsible for. But that's just me.
I know that in the real world part of a professional pilot's job is to maximise the utility of the aircraft for their employer. Those that don't are soon looking for other employment. Fortunately I don't have to make those choices.
Sorry about the mistake in the model number, I did mean EC135 and not EC225.
