I can tell you the 1 and 3-star were not particulary happy with the performance and pricing of the rotator. Interestingly enough, on one occasion, I had to book a flight on DAL/Korean Air and the ticket overall was $640 cheaper (no exaggeration).

Although I felt the rotator made the operation very easy (everyone in-processes at the same place, same day), going civilian has saved the military a lot of coin.

On many of our trips, troops carry their unloaded firearms in the cabin. I don't think that is doable on DAL/KAL.
