As an Aircraft Captain on 32 Sqn for approx 14 years I flew with many Cpl Stewards (Male & Female) who were essential members of the Crew but had no input unless requested (except in emergency) into the decision making process on the Flight Deck.
K52, SH do not fly with air stewards. All crew SH crew members have an input with regard to what happens on the flight deck. During some operations they direct the pilots.
BTW, How does fixed wing time on 32 Sqn, which is essentially a VIP squadron operating from airport to airport, qualify you to be an expert on support helicopter operations?
How much time do
you actually have flying in support helicopters?
