They are not "the same" Flight Safety is not an OEM and does not build aircraft.  All they have are simulators. Leonardo, Bell, and Eurocopter make aircraft.  Instructors for those companies may also do production flying, demos, ferry aircraft, and provide offsite training.  If you want to actually fly, you may have to be creative at Flight Safety.  if you want to actually fly at Leonardo, Bell or Eurocpter, it's not rally an issue.
