You have a 90% better chance of your squad making it to a drop zone if they all cert skeet with drop skills then one person and gal.

Regardless, the Galaxy probably has a better chance of reaching it's LZ or circumventing enemies due to it's speed and independence of terrain features. Yes, it will be susceptible to AA, but it won't be much more susceptible to air as an AMS and it will be able to run away easier from ground threats. Map of the Earth flying will be huge.
