Another thought. Would this proposed re-route allow for cross-decking to a civ-air charter in AKT? Could be a way to free up a timmy from half the flying?
Not really. You'd need twice as many Movers to do the job and twice the paperwork and take up hours and hours of effort to unload, de-stuff tins, re-stuff tins, re-load and send on the way. Increasing the chance of a cock-up, especially moving everyone and everything from one airframe to another. They are a Trade rather over-tasked and haven't got the manpower to carry out what would be a fools errand.
