Why in the world would maintenance personnel want to work for flyers? This has been tried before and failed miserably. AMU concept drove the FMC rate in the toilet with unit moral.

I was at Minot when they combined the MX with OPS...bad idea...to very distinct and unique leadership challenges.

Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen but, sir, this restructuring looks like it might actually be a useful one. Getting rid of middlemen is rarely a bad thing. ESPECIALLY when they tend to muck it up! LOL

It is going to be the same structure we already have...take a name away but keeping three "advisors" at the wing level is what you have already in the group commanders. SO much gets filtered and handled at the group level before it gets to the wing allowing the Wing CC the ability to focus on the strategic actions for the wing versus the day to day ops issues. Also it removes a appeal process for persons that get in trouble. If there is no Group CC, when a Sq CC prefers charges the next person in the chain for appeals is a the GO level bypassing the Wing CC...been there and tried it...not a good concept. IMHO.
