It’s what they are doing now in the sim. What should have happened is the civilian pilots should have done the full the type ratings at CAE, done the 6 take off and landings and got the rating on the their licences. They should then have done hours building on type to be competent to teach. Once cleared to teach in accordance with their licence requirements run the first course for the military that the military have paid for and thus qualified the military pilots.
What you have instead is a bunch of unqualified guys sat in an office in Cranwell teaching themselves to fly the aircraft while writing the course materials and playing in the sim for two slots a day “testing” it out. Anyone see a problem with that concept......... And they wonder why people are playing their faces and even resigning.....
