Don’t forget the golden rule - he who has the gold makes the rules. Will it be cheaper to train an experienced helicopter pilot to fly straight & level at altitude or to train a fixed wing pilot to transition into the hover & land in an unprepared area?
Irrelevant really, a lot of V22 pilots will retire from the military & take the jobs, then we’ll have another 2 generations of Pilots wondering when all the ex - military pilots are going to retire so they can get a job.
