Which bit?
The parochialism? Because ASW is truly all-arms. I've spent too long puking my guts up in the NWApps supported by non-Brit MPA to think that it can ever be solved solely by a RN or RAF only answer. People like Gp Capt Tom, Capt Nick, Sqn Ldr Tim and many others worked hard to keep seedcorn on the straight and narrow, as well as RN ASW, for it to be f*cked over by silly arguments over Sqn numbers or where we get the people from.
RN ASW operators are threaders with the lack of in-contact time, but they are trained on passive sonar and radar (depending on branch). The manning overhead to get them in the sky would cost the RN something, but at the same time, as a ASW focused CO, I'd welcome some guys in my Ops Room who have a flying badge and experience on live ops. It's a bit like the RN exchanges to teh E3 Fleet. Plus, it'd be a huge retention draw for people to work slightly out of the ordinary, can you imagine the dits they'd get to spin once they get back onboard?
We have a huge opportunity, lets not f*ck it up!
