Sorry Bobby, I sent McLean to tell you he was back, but I guess he was a no-show.
Give him a mission credit of 1 and a chewing out for not showing up.

How do I request/receive a replacement crew member please, guys?
I lost my right waist gunner to a SW and he will be shipped back home, and my Engineer/TT gunner will not be out of hospital in time for Mission 15 (fit for duty on 23 March onwards)
So, I need a RW gunner (permanent position) and an Engineer (temporary, for one mission)
I'm planning on flying this mission (15, Bolzano) tomorrow, so would appreciate a speedy answer
Cheers

When you lose a crewman, you would normally just make up the name of the new permanent crewman and replace the old name on your aircraft roster. The spare crew pool is normally for temporary replacement, while you wait for your crewman to get out of the hospital or if you wanted to fly one of the hangar queens and need a crew to fill it. (Take a look at a sample of the postings on the page). Hope that helps. |

Coinich , caodwolf , blaird , Grondeaux , Hi Guys Putting in a request for S/SGT William DOLAN as Engineer/TT Gunner for this mission (Mission 15 only) Putting in a request for SGT Virgil GOODMAN as a permanent crew replacement as Right Waist Gunner (Mission 15+) Cheers Drew (The Talkin' Texan, 78th)  drewshotsfan I have approved SSG Dolan for mission 15. I have also approved the permanent assignment of SGT Goodman as well. In the future, per my previous post above, you would just make up a name to replace any future permanently lost crewmen. By the way - I don't mind doing this occasionally - especially since you're experiencing the spare crew pool for the first time. Let me know, or send me a private message, any time you have other questions. Happy to help. For any future temporary crew requests, (as well as returning them to the spare pool), please use the following format. Thanks, CAPT Robert Shea (S-1) |
