This program is PURELY a money-saver for the Navy. That's the only reason
it's around. Most enlisted folks I know aren't interested because jets
aren't on the table.

Isn't the E-6 Mercury a jet, based on the 707-320 model?

Is it possible the program would include the warrants being qualified
to fly the EA-6B of those squadrons which not not assigned to CVWs --
VAQ-133, -134, and -142?

Mike,

Sorry about the "jet" mix-up. I meant to say, TACAIR.

The message traffic is quite clear about the communities for the flying
CWO's. VAQ, VF, VFA, VAW... i.e. CV fixed-wing... are not included. VP,
VQ, HS, HSL, and VT are among the possibilities.
