It seems the the U.S. has reduced the number of some aircraft in certain squadrons, namely the CH-47 Chinooks, from 16 to 14, without removing any maintenance crews. Apparently this was an effort to improve availability from 75% to 90%. I have read that the Chinook is maintenance intensive, so perhaps it has lower availabilty, but it got me wondering what the figures were like for various Canadian aircraft, from the Hornet, to the Griffon, or even the much maligned SeaKing, or any other aircraft being used. Would anybody care to comment? If this material if OPSEC I apologize and understand that it cannot be discussed.
It would be interesting to know about the new Cormorants too.
