AG - as one who, thirty six years ago, when in the Army, had to pass RAF Biggin Hill, had ex RN and RAF instructors and had my FHT with a serving Wing Commander could you tell me what evidence you have to suggest that Army aviators would need to be "brought up to RAF standard" please?
Given the overall size of Army aviation compared to RAF rotary wing, (excluding Search and Rescue), and the fact that most RAF rotary wing flying is in support of the Army then surely the logical thing to do would be to give it all to the Army, yes?
No need to remove NCO aircrew from pilots duties, most of them will go on to get a commission anyway.
If you ever get to Staff College try your theory on them. <img src="rolleyes.gif" border="0">
