As has been said elsewhere, I think it is indisputable that U.K. flying training is broken, but it is not all the fault of MFTS or the contractors. The widespread adoption of business practices without the resources or knowledge to do them properly, contractorisation pre MFTS and the conflicting requirements of SDSR 10 and 15 are also to blame. At least by sending trainees to the USA and to civil training organisations and by resurrecting the T1 SOMETHING is being done. I just feel sorry for the youngsters suffering.
