10 crews, 24/7: 24*7/10 = 30.8 hrs/week in the hot seat, and home to dinner every day.

Now that is the way to deploy to war.

I like it.

I’m mentioning this in my new book. That is, referencing a UAV operator’s past USAF experience at Nellis: drop a hellfire on a terrorist safehouse in Iraq one hour, drop a quarter in a slot machine in Vegas the next hour.

24*7/10 = 16.8

Meaning with 10 crews, we can have 2 crews on duty 24/7, with each crew doing a 33.6 workweek. Call it a standard 35-40 work week when taking into account needed administrative tasks
