I don't see how trying to go the commercial route is going to help these guys either. Assumeing that if still in training, they will have 300 ( max ) hrs, possibly no MCC or other relevant quals. Not exactly attractive to an operator, though if a ME guy was getting the axe it would not be an impossible task to get to a position to put yourself up for a job with a cargo operator.
What a bummer, looks like Maverick really will be flying rubber dog #hit out of Hong Kong
