Just thinking back to last night's episode, I think I remember there being five pictures on the role disposal board - other than Lightning and Typhoon I'm guessing Hawk and Texan creamie and 100 Sqn? But casting my memory back to the last (BBC?) series about Valley (Combat Pilot?), wasn't the favourite option for singlies a posting to Cold Lake for tactics and weapons training on the Hawk? In other words, was role disposal previously done between AFT and TWU, before a syllabus change? More to the point, I'm sure in that series a thumbs down meant starting the 'ceremony' again, including downing in one, which could get very messy if the powers-that-be saw a very different future in your stars.
