my question has always been largely rhetorical, because short of someone close to the investigation giving out this kind of information, I never really expected a direct answer.
It's a question that many of us have been asking since the accident.
The 225 in my world is only grounded by our helicopter operator. It's not grounded by EASA, Airbus or the regulator. It's also grounded by me, as the advisor who advises the company.
The grounding is causing us pain. Even after 20 days, there are massively divergent views. Some ask "why can't we fly it?" Some people never want to fly in it again and some crew never want to fly it again.
I suppose that there is still too much emotion and to few facts to make a balanced decision, so we maintain the status quo until the facts emerge.
