Every Naval Aviator should spend 3 months in an Army Aviation Company. You would really understand the differences, and appreciate your Gold Wings more than ever.

Well, it's funny you say that...serious question for you, though - any rumors or anything about the Army wanting to pull current or former V-22 pilots to instruct in the MV-75? Either in uniform for both sim and aircraft or as a civilian contractor for just sims? I'm inside half a year from EAS'ing and am just continuing to explore options. Can take things to DM if you prefer.

And…will they look at adopting a blended flight training program like the USN/USMC MV-22 pipeline?

They'd be well-advised to, but I think they are so helicopter-centric they are likely to botch this completely.

They totally don't understand that they bought an airplane that lands vertically, not just a really fast helicopter.

There are constant contract IP job listings (at the moment, most of them are from Amentum) for Rucker, and they're not picky about being prior Army. I can't imagine the MV-75 will be any different, especially given the uniqueness of tilt-rotor flying (qual-wise).

This has been the main issue since day one. No one can agree on what it is, or how it fit's into all the various political, policy, fiscal, and operational buckets.
