OK, Slapshot is an idiot, I'll give you that.
But I reread the thread and 204B's comment and I'm stuck. I hadn't seen 'anything' negative written, just questions and some 'my machine is better than yours' type banter.
On the subject of the 44, yes it is unfortunate that no-one wants to fly them. I loved them myself, smooth, fast, just fly it within limits. From what I've seen the problem is that pay is marked by size of aircraft and the poor guys need the turbine time to qualify for something else they want to do in their career. The profit margin on them was great and they definitely have a niche to fill.
That being said, Delta can choose to fly whatever machine they want, don't get me wrong. Everybody fly safe, a lot of downed helicopters in the news this week.
