MANNING RATIOS
Nothing new there figures from GW 1 much the same:
AAC 44 hels sub 500 pers (rate capped) comd by Lt Col
RAF less than 25 hels if memory serves over 1000 pers comd by Gp Capt
FAA 8-10 SK similar nos to Bosnia comd by Lt Cdr
Don't bother with the old 3 shifts 24 hours a day arguements I know for a fact that FAA and AAC managed 24 hours a day tasking with thier levels of manpower.
Plenty of headroom for a few cuts there
