We have the hardest time selling twin hours to our customers as they don't want to pay for it.
Heck, the customers even complain about the higher landing fees of the 407 over the 206L (>2t vs. <2t).
With an L3 in the house the 407 gets flat feet and you want me to step up to IFR certified multi crew twins ?
Right, let's just close the doors...
May I remind everyone that an EASA MEIR cost in excess of $50k ? Good luck on crewing all those commercially operated machines.
