Sorry for the inaccurate data in the post.
K--
I know I'm beating a dead horse that's off topic but...why stop now.
I'm not getting it, from the outside it appears the only way manning can increase is airframe reduction or accession. Are we cutting mobility airframes in the next few years? I know there are problems with cutting accessions, though that doesn't appear to have ever stopped AFPC.
What's causing the manning increase, and if it's in the future why can't it be stopped?
I'm not trying to be argumentative, I just feel like I'm missing something.
