When you say 'the best of Cobham' I hope it's true. There were some outstanding Cobham instructors during the old DHFS contract, but there was more than a sprinkling of idle belters churning out NI 1980's stuff regardless of what the syllabi called for, and generally waiting for Godot.
If you have managed to keep the wheat and jettison the chaff, I'd be marginally supportive (despite the wrong choice of aircraft for 50% of your throughput).
Hopefully the decision on the ex-Cobham guys wasn't made on how they looked on paper......
