your comment shows how little you know about how Shawbury is supposed to run, was run and should be run. All Flt Cdrs and Sqn Bosses used to have to be A2 but there aren't enough to go round so B1s are used instead. Having A2s in the important posts allows better supervision, standardisation, assessment and oversight, especially of struggling students. That goes hand in hand with mentoring B2s and progressing B1s to A2.
It's always such a privilege when the King of the World takes the time to tell us how we should be doing our jobs. I must confess, Your Majesty, that DHFS has been doing it wrong all these years. Thank Goodness we're starting with a clean sheet rather than clinging onto the old, substandard system. Those poor, poor students from the last 20 years...
Exactly who has got the syllabi then? Since no-one isactually delivering the training I assume from your political answer, not very many and certainly not those capable of scrutinising it with a professional eye.
I must be seeing things. Or maybe the Junos which appear to be busy on training sorties are simply floating around the skies aimlessly, terrorising the residents of Shropshire for no reason at all.
I don't know what you think I had to do with Soteria, you do know it was Bristow who got UKSAR??
Again, I consider myself both enlightened, and grateful for the enlightenment. But then it's hard to keep up to date with everything when I'm so busy delivering terrible flying training. One thing I seem to recall a while ago was your repeated forecasts of doom (suspended for a short period when Bristow were recruiting - obviously, it would be wrong for royalty to interfere during such a delicate process) about civvies taking over SAR - could you just confirm that Bristow SAR has been an unmitigated disaster?
