WSOp recruitment
Morning everybody,
What is the outlook for WSOp recruitment on the rotary fleet?
I have been offered WSO but I want to do something more physically demanding.
If if I expressed an interest to go rotary, is there demand for a 27 year old, fresh blooded WSOp? Or would I likely be pushed towards the sensor side (irritating as I could have done this as a WSO)?

I expect you didn't see the answer you wanted last time this was asked, so we're here again.
We mostly advised the other guy to take WSO over WSOp that time.

The ISTAR fleets are in a (5 year?) growth period, 24 Poseidon crews and up to 100 Reaper/Protector crews are required. Shadow fleet is increasing and RJ needs more crews.
Where do you think most new WSOp's will end up?

On the 76 Chinooks, 22 Atlas, 14 Voyager, 14 Hercules, 8 Globemaster or 23 Pumas?

Roffa, try calling Cranwell, ask for 45 Sqn WSOp Training Office and enquire about their planned output for the next few years.

Pr00ne, is there not a difference between replacement crews on an existing fleet and new crews on an expanding one?
Pontius Navigator,
Fair point, though I suppose it rather depends which fleet(s) have been the better at retention?
The ISTAR lot don't exactly have large fleet numbers, though they do of course have larger crews.
