This morning the
PR people at Bell announced they were suspending all promotion of the Bell 525 at Farnborough as a matter of 'respect'.
It was also announced that the CEO Mitch Snyder was no longer travelling to the UK for Farnborough for the same reason. Of course there were a number of other important Bell Helicopter programmes that he was there to promote besides the 525.
While perfectly understandable in the circumstances this is the second European media/
PR event that Snyder has cancelled within a month. For the future health of the company there must surely be a limit to the number of times the CEO of any company can allow unfortunate circumstances to diminish his marketing role.
