With a new solicitation that requires an existing CWN contract what happens to the big push for next gen aircraft? If you purchased a 412 or maybe a 145/429 to bid are you just screwed on EU? Best you can hope is to go out as a limited CWN if they ever award the MATOC? Seems a lot more cost effective to keep calling old UH-1s vs a next gen if there isn't a crew to staff it as helitack?
