OTTAWA � Canada should either buy more Cormorant search-and-rescue helicopters or cut back on inspections in the existing fleet to meet the life-saving role the aircraft was originally expected to perform, says a new report.

you can not cut the repair time so only buying more is the option. maybe not that brand but more helicopters

I'm not sure of that story. It sounds like the ammount and duration of the tests are a problem. Arn't these tests at the recomendation of the manufacturer or are we just stripping them apart because we're bored and have shiney new toys?

Where is helicopter repair man when you need him.

We wouldn't need them at all if people had a sense of direction.

Sounds like this is a real lemon...maybe we dodged a bullet in not buying the EH-101s. Of course, the Liberals still should have gotten off their lazy asses in ordering a replacement...10 years to decide on the Cyclone was totally ridiculous.
