'kin 'el Easy Street - get ready for some flaming from some of the RW / ME mates who roam these boards ....

If any force can cope with the "pass with less than flying colours brigade" it is the GR4. Big (ish) fleet, with squadrons rotating through the Stan for only 1 period in 7 (granted, that is until tomorrow when that might become 1 in less than 7)

How about we send these GR9 pilots that everyone believes are going to be unemployed very soon to RW. After all, they're good at hovering and landing in/on small spaces. And I'm sure their CRM with the crewman would be faultless

Or how about we up the grade at FTS and be more decisive/clinical with wielding the axe - there isn't going to be room for 'training risks' or 'he just needs a tour under his belt and he'll be ok' brigade any more.
