Matt,
This seems pretty feasible. To expand operations, additional needed could be hired and trained. (Following the cadre model, of course!)
For hybrids the Canadair CL-84 is an interesting tilt-rotor. It seemed like a solid design that could be revived by "Morrow Aerospace" for development for future military and civil sales. Unlike the V-22 Osprey the aircraft can take-off and land with the wings in the forward position, making transition less risky:
