Hmm, not disagreeing with the rest of your statements but Jim was referring to only one fatal accident in the 225. You are referring to 4.
Which 4 fatal accidents of the 225 do you have in mind. And he didn't say anything about 10 years. Perhaps you should wipe the Foam off your Mouth and take the time and properly read what others are writing before trying to set them straight on things they never said just because you disagree.
And before you think I try to support the 225: Yes: I agree that the 225 in the current situation is in my eyes not acceptable for Offshore operations or any commercial operations for that matter. AH have very obviously not properly understood why things went wrong and how to absolutely make sure it won't occur again. Worse: They don't seem to have a clue how the event unfolding can be detected/predicted reliably.
But let's stay fact based and not rage get us carried away and denigrating other based on half- read posts.
