Dual-qualified aviators are rare. There are only a few billets coded as such. If so qualified, you are an AC in one acft and a CP in the other.

Helo drivers are in on the action; the only ones closer are the Rescue Swimmers deploying into the water. The vast majority of acft transitions I've known of are rotary to fixed wing. Some in the Aviation Engineeing career track switch airframes at a new assignment, or an in-bound CO/XO/OPS may have to qualify in the type of aircraft at their new command.

Sorry I didn't answer more questions; I don't type fast and my connection always seems to time out.
