If 40% of Naval Aviation are helos, what percentage overall are helo pilots?

[OnTopTime]

That is a really good question. Right now we are under COA 1, with all SNAs selecting Maritime will be sent to P3 squadrons through FY23 while currently qualified ACTC Level 300 and above Pilots in the Fleet are transitioned through the existing FIT syllabus based upon NAVPERs 1336 approvals. There is the option on the table for 1 of 42 initial Pilot cadre slots to go to recognized strong performing SNAs based upon VT former P3 instructor recommendation, but that could be a crapshoot when dealing with cross gradient rank structures.

John

Huh?

Gee. I love that kind of talk!

I'm glad I'm not the only one completely lost by webmaster's post. Not that I trust any post on here with the number 42 in it anyway though.

No, you're just one of two who didn't get it.

Ok I feel this is the perfect time for me ask this question since I don't know all the inside AW jokes all the time: Can somebody tell me the source of the specific joke answer of 42%?

Please PM me if need be.

42 is the universal answer.

John,

Agreed. As the IPP is adjusted inside the fence, crew/aircraft ratios are often left by the wayside. Admiral Harvey, and therefore the NAE , CNATRA (from N5), and the Human Performance shop have been studying the effects for years. Additionally, Global Warming's effect on the PPFs combined with FLE of training command platforms has introduced a new problem. The fleet seat backfill, slowed down by market conditions and the inherent instability of the dollar within the Chinese economy, has forced future budgets (POM FY15-27) to adjust for hyper-inflation and the inevitable weakening of the US Bond Market.

Basically....we're fucked.

No, the fun part is sitting in the murder board ranking you and knowing that as a wings + 8 guy your shitty FITREP will make you happy to be the TAO on your disassociated sea tour.

Now that shit is fun(ny).

FY23? I thought that the transition was supposed to be complete by 2018.

Ahh, see, you're falling into a mistake akin to Plato's butthole.

 

[Uncle Fester]

Oh, Jesus, come on guys...web-san's fucking with you by playing Buzzword Shotgun.

His way of telling you that there's no such thing as a straight answer to that question because there are a whole big fucking stack of variables and they're all buried in the upper reaches of CNAF, CNATRA, and VP heirarchies. Plus, the Navy never does anything simple, just on principle.

You want a simple answer? Go Maritime and stick around along enough, you'll eventually fly the P-8.

BOOM!

Well played.
