Sideshow The airmanship training applies to all NCA training. Ground crew can become sensor operators, just apply for aircrew as many of us did. Or have you a downer on AEOps?
No downer on AEops, just a valid question. If we can employ ground trades as sensor operators, as we do on the E-3D and Sentinal, at a less long term cost than a NCA, then why do we need AEops?
Wouldn't your point be just as valid to replace an Air Eng with more qualifed Grd Engineers?
At least I don't make up ridicules arguments about thing I know nothing about.
