An additional note: the skill loss mechanic seems to be pretty lenient. I actually had a fairly difficult time resetting my planes to base skill levels. In the end, I had to slap the planes on a 3-plane slot, and sortie to 4-2-H with 0 FP three times without resupply to manage it. And even so, the planes in the other 3 slots didn't seem to lose any skill and in fact ended up gaining ranks. Granted, they were probably picking up exp in the first node, and 4-2-H has only moderate enemy FP (AS req of about 100), so maybe in maps with particularly high EFP or where you might suffer air denial in multiple nodes of the same sortie you might see bigger hits to plane skill, but as it stands right now, I've been finding it actually pretty hard to get my planes to drop ranks.
