The AEF operation has been made even more 'complicated' by insisting on a cockpit warning system
It can't be this, or anything else which has been known about / mulled over for sometime, because the grounding happened very quickly on Friday. It was 'announced' to all and sundry late in the afternoon by the fastest possible means.......Facebook!!! Meaning, there were cadets who went to bed all excited about flying the next day, only to be disappointed in the morning.
If it was the need for a cockpit warning system, you would think there would have been a release to staff first, followed by a grounding in the coming weeks. Then again.............you can't beat knee-jerk to disappoint kids!
