Well - how about this for a solution:
The Aussie Army has just retired it's gunship role (AFS) in preparation for the introduction of the Tiger - which will be assuming the gunship role sometime around 2007/8. As the Aussie Army no longer requires anyone of gunship experience - why dont you poach them? Especially considering that they would give their left nut to be involved in offensive helicopter operations, and come trained in modern gunship tactics lacking Apache airframe/weapon/sensor experience.
Given that only about three AFS personnel have so far been involved with the entire Tiger project (from definition through evaluation, acquisition, and now introduction) - and none have currently been slated for posting to commmand or instruction involving the Tiger - it is clear that the Aussie Army can do with out them.
Snap them up before they all disappear back to utilility helicopters!
