Even on the ka350, one of the problems experienced has been that you wouldn't send someone to fly one without 3000 hours, getting an appropriate training package has been hard, especially without our own sim.
I reckon opcons have taught basic flying well, but haven't taught captaincy/decision making/crm/emergency handling for the me environment well, and I don't mean efatos. That Is stuff you could learn on the line from captains with1000s of military command hours on multiple types.
Much harder to learn on a kc30 in the current environment.
C27s will probably be some of the best military flying for boggies. Diverse, challenging and operational.
