Did Bristow Engineering not ever raise questions about the possibility of Gearbox issues in the 225 in light of the earlier problems or did they just enjoy the EC/AB Tea and Cookies and sign on the dotted line?
How did that turn out for them?
I mention BHL as they were the Operator with the largest fleet of EC/AB aircraft but the question applies to all of the Operators.
I don't think you know them well enough to quote them then dis them.
