If CHF take the Merlin, or CH 47, how do they intend to man the rear crew element?
Will they continue in house selection/trg or will they put their guys through Shawbury? My understanding is that they take RMs in the main, will they be able to recruit the extra manpower. Will this set a precedent with regards to how 'light blue' try their Cmn? With a potential crossover of the fleet in the next 3 years, and the reduced number of OCUs how do they intend to get a cadre of rear crew established to have a credible FOC this decade?
Or are they looking to coerce the light blue Cmn to transfer across?
