Yes of course. You need to be a crab officer to drive an SH bus.... Stick to Chinooks, Pumas and Merli....ah, ignore that last one.

I'll bet CrabAir almost rubbed their hands with glee at the thought of the end of the AAC believing they'd poach Apache.

As has been alluded to, the AAC wont be losing too much in real terms and with the introduction of fewer Wildcat, we'll at least have enough people to fill the seats (as opposed to just keeping people employed to boost the numbers even though there is nothing for them to fly....)

I'll bet it still pisses a few crabs off that mere NCOs can operate Apache very effectively.
