Simple - just do it my way!

Anyway, as I have said before DB and I agree on far more than we disagree on which gives us a head start compared with say Bristow vs CHC vs Bond (Avincis - how DO you pronounce that?).
However, let us please get away from the idea that the OEM has the answers. They do not, since do not operate multi-pilot (they operate with 1 pilot and 1 flight engineer), nor much IFR and certainly not offshore. Fortunately and to their credit the OEM seems happy to accept that, and is keen to merely be a facilitator in arriving at best practice.
