I think they aren't really very safe. Although the concept is great and I still think they can make use of it in low threat environments. But a lot of Marines are probably going to die before they scrap it altogether. The new Sea Stallions are due out for at least 5 more years.
They need one of those things the joes fly in Rise of Cobra.

The Howler?
It looked like a more advanced Osprey.

I think it could be an excellent VTOL aircraft but the producers seem unwilling to spend the money for necessary safety improvements, probably because it cuts into their profits.

Damn they already went like $80 billion over budget. How they, (Not sure who they is), got this thing into production without working out the kinks amazes me.
They're doing the same thing with the F-35. Make the sparkplugs in Idaho, landing gear in Nashville, powerplant in Seattle, radar in Albuquerque. Pretty soon no congressman, Republican or Democrat, can kill it because it means jobs to 70% of the districts in America. They better fix it. The military industrial complex supplying jobs isn't neccessarily a bad thing. It got us out of the Great Depression. Still American Pride is on the line here as far as I'm concerned.

I'm assuming that GI Joe had the good sense to spend less on their Resolute Ospreys but who knows...

I know we discussed this awhile ago but...
What kind of budget does Joe have?

Hmm...I guess we have to first establish what expenditures they have? If you're not going to include aircraft, ships or large armor/artillery pieces, then they can certainly spend more on smaller technical equipment and weapons for personnel.
