One can only speculate what they found and it was probably not a design fault.
This would seem to be a very reasonable assumption Towerdog. Unfortunately for Airbus, until they share that information with the general public, no-one is going to want to fly in it. Operators, Customers, offshore workers, and on it goes.
A review of Bill Chiles criteria for a safety assessment that it was safe for his family and grandchildren to fly in, remains the basis that every person involved will continue to use.
There are very few Airbus employees that have spent any time ever flying in a 225, let alone exposed to the offshore environment. I think many people have that in mind when these statements come out.
