Back up from going deep.
If any of you have watched the Buccaneer 50 year DVD watch how the flight deck crew operate like a ballet on a very restricted space with a 30 knot gale blowing along it.
Pilots are still two a penny, a few can even still do flight deck landings but you are are fresh out of FAA Ground crew with any experience in SNCO rank downward. In 20 years time when the first CV is out of the builders hands anybody with any experience will be dead. Even if Pusser get the planes who is going to throw them into the air and drag them back down RAF Pilots and Ground-crew who only crawled out of their mothers wombs a year or two ago, I don't think so.
If the Light and Dark blue fraternity want world wide capability they need to start doing it tomorrow.
