Well, the good news for nellycopter is that you won't have to deal with Turbomeca anymore.
Now you'll be dealing with
Safran Helicopter Engines...
I don't have $1.077 Mil down on a 505, so it's easy for me to say, but I can't see Bell allowing Turbo...Safran Helicopter Engines to drop the ball on 505 support. Bell will have already read them the riot act in terms of the importance of not damaging BHT's customer service reputation, and will I'm sure be monitoring customer service levels (and operator squawks) closely.
Given the heavy price discount that Safran must have agreed to to get onto the 505, they'll doubtless be keen to secure additional business with Bell to make it worth their while, and will therefore understand what's at stake. And as I said
3 years ago, I can't see Bell leaving customers hung out to dry when it comes to engine support.
