As a Jetstream trained, ex-VC10 pilot now training ATPL students on Jet/MCC course I can not see how we (I mean us as Flight Training Organisations) could provide training that matches the standards of METS when I went through late 85, early 86.

The Seneca is inappropriate, the ATPL syllabus ditto and few if any of the instructors will have the military background required to understand what the "customer" needs.

Won't stop some suit at MoD doing it because it will save 200 quid on his budget during his last year in post (and sod the effect it will have on other budgets!).

Maybe I'm glad to be out of the RAF now.........I remember when there were enough pilots and planes for the task (just). Sad seeing it from the outside.
