Satsuma,

Did MilSAR ever get unlimited training? If not, the reason was cost and cost alone. No government can afford to let people take $35m assets out and rag the life out of them for a year and have to replace them because they flew 20 hours a day, every day.

Of course there has to be profit in it, it's a business. A good business keeps it's eye on the bottom line at all times.

Can you give examples of things you are worried BHL will not pay for in the future that Auntie Liz does? How many hours flying are included on the aircraft? How much for role equipment etc?

If you can give examples of specific things that BHL won't do, all the doubters, of which I am clearly one, will sit down and listen. Until then it's just a moan about something which hasn't even happened yet....
