Daryl, the short answer is Army pilots will. Of course there will be those that say you have to have twin experience and a million hours b4 having the honour of crewing the new aircraft, however, when it comes down to it, it will be bums on seats. Of course the prority will be for Blackhawk/Ch47 drivers from Townsville with a splatter of laterals from the UK etc in the same way that Tiger will be Kiowa crews. It is also pretty clear that newly qualified aircrew will qualify on both types too.
Strange that you ask on this forum. Why not call the boys at DACI, Oakey? or OC A at Townsville? I'm sure you'll get all form the horses mouth!!!
