Just had a phone call from a friend who works for a company that had been looking at purchasing the Bell product. After not being able to get a logical answer about the Rogerson Kratos rip-off, they have now decided not to go ahead with purchasing a Bell helicopter.
I just wonder how many sales Bell are going to lose (how would they know?) before they will actually negotiate with Rogerson Kratos to get an ethical deal in relation to maintenance.
I’ve also heard that the replacement equipment Agusta are now fitting in place of the Rogerson Kratos units is going to have a total overhaul cost of about $7,000. Now that’s more than Garmin but still very reasonable.
Everyone who is reading this - make sure you do everything you can to warn people about the lack of ethics and the lack of reliability with Rogerson Kratos equipment. Do everything we can to make sure that Rogerson Kratos learns that being dishonest won’t work in the long run.
