You are hereby requested to invite the next lowest bidders in all tenders that Bristow won for price negotiations
Go for the next lowest bidder? A sure fire way to increase safety.

It's a pity there is no easily accessible central repository for incident reports. I've spent some time trying to track down an incident report I submitted to our authorities, so long ago I forget the precise details, but involved the cyclic constantly flailing about the cockpit during climb following take off in an A model. Turned off both SCAS and returned home, as problem existed in both channels. Don't recall the problem source, although our FOI at the time expressed some doubt as to whether the aircraft deserved IFR certification with such a single point failure (whatever it was - old age is a bugger).
