Random,
Believe me when I say I'm trying to start an argument, merely contribute to a discussion. When you say:
People also need to be flexible on their thinking in terms of who comprises the crew, whether they are constituted and what skillsets each individual has in comparison to how things were done on Nimrod.
While I don't disagree in principle, and like to think I'm not a dinosaur, I would offer the following word of caution. The broader the skillsets you require each crew member to have, the less competent he/she is likely to be in any one, the less able they are to practice it, keep current, undertake live Exercises in it, etc.
Just a thought. I guess it depends how much you are willing to "pay" to generate good quality performance from your crews/assets across the full spectrum of possible tasks?
