Trunk_Monkey,
We don't think we're superior, its just (as you're aware) that our RW crewman have a much more indepth, structured training syllabus. They have to carry out many more tasks on the whole than their Army counterparts.
I honestly believe that providing you come across with the right attitude you will be very much welcomed as the RAF could use all the help it can get and will use the experience you already have. You will definately have the advantage over other entrants and I'm sure that once in the training system you will be fast tracked through some parts of training that cover areas you already have experience in.
I'm not rotary but its worth speaking to the CIO and some of the guys at DHFS to get a feel for what crossing over will entail.
Best of luck mate.
