Don't hold your breath. It's one thing replacing aviation specialists (the military) with aviation specialists (Bristow). Transferring the ARCC to the MCA is the forgotten last piece of the puzzle, attempting to embed the niche specialisation of the ARCC within the maritime-heavy environs of the MCA is not without it's challenges. You pay peanuts etc....
