Isn't it even worse than that BEagle? I thought that the 9 a/c A330 fleet (14 in emergencies and dire need, like now?) was intended to replace the Tristars as well.
Leaving a jet transport fleet of 5 C17 and 9 (14 when were in trouble) A330, a total of 14 or 19?
In addition this fleet will have to meet 100% of the RAF AAR need.
