SASless. I think you will find this point is all about the different ways our crewmen operate to your cabin crew gunner/crewchief. In the Wessex/Puma/Chinook/Merlin our crewmen were and are responsible for the control and safe passage of underslung loads. The crewman monitors the hookup, transit and release, voice marshalling the aircraft for pickup and drop off to ensure the load is stable and positioned correctly. With the Blackhawk seats in the transverse position the crewman cannot see beneath the aircraft to carry out this task nor move around the cabin to reach the door and manage either troops and doors.
