You know, with all the demands on these guys, essentially being qualified in 3 full-on weapons systems at the same time, (air, land, space, infantry, CAS, BFM, counter-maritime strike)...

Most. Multi-tasked pilots. Ever. Training has to be a nightmare...thank god in the future everyone lives longer and is a lot smarter because I don't think one could actually get _good_ at combat in more than one arena (but of course, our hero aren't run of the mill people, and this IS space opera afterall...)

I'm trying to think, just for a second how the hell you'd actually train somebody to fight in this thing AND keep them good at regular flying ops...that's a lot on their plate.
