I'm glad Ghost chimed in and set things straight. For those interested in helos, the sky is not falling. OIF and the overmanning really jacked things up, but they're getting sorted out. IA's don't excatly help some people either.
As for the 80 hours/month underway, it's not the end of the world either. If you're in the middle of real world ops (no exercise or whatever) you'll still fly plenty, especially w/ 2 birds. 50 hours a month underway will keep you plenty busy.
