"A further option is to give a contractor a shed load of wonga to buy used airframes and set up a new independent dedicated civilian AT capability: the advantages are that the operator is not encumbered by existing work practices, it is a very quick fix ( 9 months max from go ahead to flying), a better service for the passengers and the MoD, much cheaper than using service personnel as civvies don't need the back up services, pensions etc and highly trained service personnel and equipment are released to do other tasks."
Far too simple, cost effective and logical!
