I'm aware of that, but the comment blamed this on needing to be "treated like operating an airliner". In reality, tourist helicopters are much better (and more expensive) than an R44 principally for reasons other than the FAA's treatment of them. Also, I believe that the Bell 206 is well under $2 million as well.
