She quite rightly highlights the problems of furnishing sufficient numbers of service QFIs. However, she misses out the parallel problem of promotable pilots. Late accumulation of experience will result in fewer relevant reports on which to base the decision to promote individuals, so there will either be a (7 1/2 year?) gap in the career progression structure of the RAF or there will be some speculative decisions and/or senior officers with limited front line experience. Or a dearth of aircrew senior officers.
