Odds are out of flight school you will spend at LEAST two tours in your aircraft before you would even be considered for a staff tour or transition. (8 years, about 2500+ hours)

One advantage of the CG is that we are a much smaller community and everyone generally knows each other (especially in your particular airframe) so assignments tend to probably be a little more flexible give your particular situation or hardship.

I would never count on any airframe transitions. Try to fly the aircraft you want to fly for the rest of your career. Rotary to fixed wing is VERY competitive and very few get the opportunity. I don't know of any fixed wing fliers that have desired to go rotary.

When I get enough posts, feel free to PM me and I can get you more info offline.
