What an utterly bone question! He is a current Apache pilot and as such he must remain fully competent in all aspects of flying as per the JHC FOB . He is not an Aircraft Commander so the only time he will have Captaincy hours is when he has flown mutual during CTR.
As I stated in my previous post - what the vast majority of posters on this forum fail to grasp is that he must continue to maintain currency/competency/carry out PDT etc etc and still carry out all the other duties required of him during what has been a very busy summer.
Unless of course you're suggesting that the rules don't apply to him - and if that's what you think then you're pretty naive as to what it takes to fly the AH in theatre which is where he will very soon end up.
