I too hope training can be ramped up quickly, but I dont think the projected 4 Sensor operators through training this FY are going to make much difference. Also the 2 crews worth in the US would make a great start to the fleet - IF they all come back. Instructors in the US are being poached by contractors for megabucks wages - 2,3,4 times military salaries. I wouldn't look such a gift horse in the mouth, and I know at least 1 seed-corn flyer who went to the States with the express long-term intent on moving on into industry over there.
