AWSAR will give Junior Air Corps pilots flying experience.
AWSAR will give Junior Air Corps pilots the required experience they need to deploy overseas, is one avenue they are pushing as justification to try and get AWSAR back.
Has anyone told them that AWSAR flying is one of the most demanding roles a pilot can do in a helicopter, and they are using it as some kind of stepping stone for Junior Pilots (majority of whom have less than 500hrs) to gain flying experience to deploy overseas.
