So, the fact that about half the MR2 force of aircraft are currently operationally deployed with about 1/3 of operational crews
That would seem to raise the question as too how many crews we need. I mean, if half the aircraft with 1/3 of the CR crews can do the operational task, why does the other half need twice as many crews back at home.....
Rely totally on other countries' "export" variants? Thats' fielding a second team. Look at the JSF, will we ever get access to source codes, so that our industry can tinker with them? Will Congress let us?
Good news is the mission system is supposed to be excellent - but then that was made by Boeing!
So, what, exactly, sort of better arrangement do we have with Boeing, than we have with LM?.....
