Well I can tell you, being co-owner of a 44 who had to buy a new set of blades blades last year because of a delamination. P..d off because we had been dutifully checking our blades and it delaminated at the tip anyways, p..d off because we exchanged them for auto-breakable blades.
I fly in a French territory, no AD from EASA so far but we decided to ground our 44 for the duration.
