The major OEM's are oblivious to how they contribute to this issue. Singapore is within our region of the word and apparently a cost effective maintenance solution. Yes, UTC is now here but unfortunately the damage is done. A North American company is working on a 5 year limited disposable raft design for multiple size aviation TSO rafts, which is where we are at with commercial preservers. Where the dinosaur OEM's are stuck in the dark ages, this revolutionary company is working on inflation systems for the same cost as a constant wear jacket. Look out once they sort out the raft.
