Rear Crew contract runs out and Phenom

Wonder if they will continue with the King Air after the Rear Crew contract runs out in mid 2016?

Rear Crew Stage 1 | Ascent Flight Training

W.R.T the multi-engine phase utilizing the Phenom 100, (I've sat in and played with its bigger brother cockpit the 300 at BGAD 2014 my pic below )



Though there is no HUD built into the architecture but if a customer so desires it, a HUD can be installed. The company test pilot told me that due to the layout of the instruments near at eye level, there is no point really for a HUD.

Though how over the decades before the introduction of the T-1A, did the graduates of Sheppard and then Williams who passed out then streamed to MAC/AMC to fly the C-130/C-141/C-5/C-17/C-135 variants without the use of a multi-engine trainer whilst only flying T-37 and T-38?

Cheers
