DNB, I think the quality of the air troopers is the least of the AACs worries in fielding the AH - the complete lack of Greenies (fairies to the RAF readers) to support and fix the complex avionics is going to be a real show stopper once the REME take control of the servicing. The 'soldier first' mentality will have to go if the recruiting and retention situation is to improve - people intelligent and capable enough to fly and maintain the AH are also intelligent enough to see that BPFAs, ACFTs, Sqn PT, radio stag, gate guarding etc etc do not enhance the operational capability of the aircraft one little bit.
There are some excellent people in the AH programme at the moment but as ever they are banging their heads against the brick wall of the 'Big Army'. A fundamental sea change of attitude is required if the machine is to be used and operated to it's full potential.
p.s. The cloggies bought the D model without the Longbow radar so if you see one with a big doughnut on top of the rotor head it is either a. being serviced by a fat REME or b. a British AH 64.
