AI R You didn't say so but are you also advocating a reduced "output" to cover the time lost from the day-job? Depending on Branch/Trade that would mean fewer machines on the flightline/in the air or, say, reduced air traffic movements; unless one invokes the services of the arbeit fairy. Is that what you meant? As you say, that would need some commitment from CAS downwards.
I saw something similar to this in relation to an Ex CAPE PETREL when CBFFI was an infantry wallah. He wanted everyone in Theatre to take part in Stags and weapon training for the last stand against the Orange hordes. Went down like a brick budgerigar with the Eng types and Stackers. He still wanted the same availability and readiness from the Ten, the Tonkas and the HELOs; plus Timmy turnrounds and all the supporting bits. It wasn’t my problem as it wasn’t my shade of blue but I could certainly sympathise with them. The principle is the same. You can’t get a litre of beer out of a pint bottle.
