In 2011 the role of CAS will be civilianised: as one with extensive management experience in the airline business I have already presented a BP to the MoD for my takeover.
Whilst not in service in Afghanistan / Iraq ? fill in the blanks the 2 seat fast jet fleet will be utilised in high cost / crap service / transatlantic services. Essentially, the business travellers will turn up at LCY, a Merlin will whisk him / her / them to a location in Lincolnshire where they will meet their crew for the crossing, be given a bimble box and an airways chart (IFE).
The jet will get airborne RV with the first tanker at Stornoway and head off, supersonic towards Greenland and the first butty slot.
After top up off KEF the jet will continue towards Goose, the option of a night stop is available on the website) before the last slot somewhere off the Canadian coast ( we also provide the big jugs a la Virgin) before contining to destination.
After landing the pilot will have 25 minutes to turn the jet round for the return ( if Ryanair can do a 738 with 189 on board in 25 a Typhoon with 1 will be snagless) before greeting the next passenger for the eastbound crossing.
Price? Well checked baggage is out !
Put it all down resettlement and it's dirt cheap.
