Crab, the time it would take, yes and the money, to get a NVG compatable 92 for the FI contract would not have been possible. It all takes time. Also unless things have changed in FI civ aircraft can't fly at night so no NVG training. Nice idea though.
Seems a waste to drag one of their key NVG trainers down there to provide a bum on a seat. Oh, my mistake, that will be the option that incurs less of a financial penalty. It's simple really - commercial pressures trump operational effectiveness. Like the opposite of the military (in simple terms).
