Is it time for the title of the thread to change? “Air cadets has changed since 1960s/90s/2014.” So has the airforce/army/navy no one is saying they’re grounded. There are units operating, if not at, then very close to pre “pause” levels and people working very hard to make it happen.
"Reduction", and "loss" would be more appropriate.
Coupled with problems in the AEF world there are areas of the country who have seen and continue to see virtually no flying at all. I'm past caring how it's spun, really.
We've got a busy unit of 60+ cadets. Less than 10% have ever flown. I'm fed up of passing promises over to them that we know will be broken, again.
