And there is the conundrum.
In the last 18-24 months, Ascent have hired some seriously talented people. Ex CFI's, CFS personnel, Training Officers etc...basically the people you would hire if you owned the company - they are utterly superb.
Ascent hired them because they realized that their own staff were unable to do the job they were hired for.
Ascent had the chance to get all of the right people from day one...but they stayed true to form and hired the cheapest...it is all their HR 'experts😒' care about...HR lady who apparently knows far more about military flying training than anyone who actually does it)
They hired these experts (and they ARE experts - no tongue in cheek here) to 'test and adjust' the courseware to get it ready for Apr 18 (RW).
And here is the point...
These experts, hired FOR THEIR OPINION have been Officially told by Ascent to keep schtum and keep their mouths shut. Fact. This, in an organisation paid by the MOD???? It beggars belief!
I know many of these people. They say the aircraft are completely unfit for purpose. The courseware is written by morons. They say Ascent has no idea whatsoever about instructor training, or development, or a hundred other things that need to happen to make MFTS work.
Why did Ascent hire experts for their opinion and help, then tell them to shuttup?
Could it be that the answers are inconvenient?
