tottigol has it right regarding sale rates I reckon.
There have been plenty of people available to cut down the AW139...meanwhile AW quietly continued to saturate the market with their product.
Lets not forget that when the AW139 first come out it had a payload of 6400kg's and many a comment was made about much the same things as we see on the AW189 thread right now
Some here are a bit sensitive on the subject...but in the end the ball will keep bouncing. I reckon we just need to take a breath and see what happens during the first year or so of operation by the industry to know where AW are at with their new toy.
