esprit de corps? not much about at the moment and morale is going to take a major dip imho post herrick once we are forgotten about once again.
I hear you but such is the exodus around me there are very few left to listen.

The post-HERRICK universe is looking pretty bleak. For many fleets their core hours have been sliced back so far that they are now completely dependant on HERRICK hours to keep them viable. The 'brave financial decisions' of the past were wrapped in the protective HERRICK hours bundle. It is only when this last last plastic straw is removed from the VSO's game of flying-KerPlunk will we truly see the damage that has been done. I expect crews, squadrons and fleets to be lost just to keep a miserly flying rate just about possible.
