I figured I'd throw this out here for the E2/C2 types on the board since my squadron doesn't have any to bug. Are E2 pilots at any disadvantage gaining rank, command, etc. since the mission seems to be NFO-dominated? How much crew coordination is there in flight, or do the FOs pretty much handle the show in the tube while the pilots drive the bus?
E2s and helos are competing for the same spot in my (theoretical at this point) selection card, and my flight leader is an HSL guy who's given me his side of the story. I was just hoping to get a counterpoint to his "go-helos-E2s-blow" spiel (granted, he admits he's biased). Comments?
