Random response just because I've reread this thread:
*Mission creep. The question is whether those missions are in the ROC/POE.
*Night cargo: we'll experiment with that. Still no PAX to/from the ship at night (3710).
*Time on deck should be as Pags said it. It's even better since in that scenario you're not shutting down the aircraft.
*hscs's concern really isn't different than with the C-2s. The more the ship uses them, the faster they go maintenance down. The ability to surge to a high demand does not mean airframes/crews must sustain it.
The V-22 is not a C-2, as we all know. A lot of the assumptions come from directly comparing either a current C-2 detachment or the current MV-22B airframe. What may be true of either of those may not be true for a CMV-22B and its det.
Did I miss anything?
