At the moment i think, the civ possibilities are small. We in the rotary wing industries are in a concentrating process in a down turning market. Money and new developments are decreasing. We have nearly enough FTE's and TP's due to the concentration. Most work in process is military, therefore we need military experienced and from the military customer accepted personal. Nearly all TP's coming from military, working together with the industry on the mil projects and developments during their military time and after leaving the mil they stay.
That's the situation in the big industry and the smaller user, like institutes, universities and smaller development companies, don't have the money to have or train up own personal. They use the staff from the bigger companies and military direct.
