To a degree the RAAF has taken some of the C130 boys to the C17 no problem.
Perhaps the real problem is, there are some jockeying for what is seen as plum posting.
They too if they exist they maybe are in for a rude shock.
If it was a true statement about old habits, with the safety record of the C130 in RAF and RAAF, I would ride the C130 anyday.
Some of the RAF crews must have close to 20,000 hours on type. The A400M has not even flown 2 minutes.
