Also, the buzz crews aren't able to operate the G or EI reg aircraft whilst simultaneously operating SP reg. There's a sim between each time they transfer reg. The floating guys can operate EI reg but again, they are very expensive cheap and recently got a payrise so it won't serve the alleged intended purpose.
Just took the freedom to make some changes.
