Beags, thanks for posting. Is there any "watering-down" of the declared crewing policy for ATr crewed Ops/airframes here?
As far as "surge" goes, you either have it on day one or it is not worth counting. Seems more like a strange way of having a "reserve", one that is not crewed or actually available. Hmmm, 90 days?... "Yes Minister, we will have them back, repainted and on the line for day 91. Of course, there may be some minor charges to satisfy.
". Good job that there will be loads of combat ready crews available...
