I was not speaking as a transport pilot, but as a former RAF standards QFI.
I , too, wanted and tried hard to be, right on top of handling my jet, “just” a JP but CFS decided the risk of turnbacks was not worth the gain.
That may have changed.
.....and yes, as a former Canberra pilot, I had a sound grasp of, and excellent training on, asymmetric ops. such that on my two engine failures, both in b. awkward situations, we survived but long after the Canberra came into service asymmetric training was still being refined and being made safer. Perhaps less risky might be a better description, as the Wyton (IIRC) station commander was killed on an asymmetric accident almost at the end of Canberra service. The Canberra was a big JP on two engines ( except for the PR9) but on one it had to be flown with great care.
.. of course military aircraft will always have a risk factor far greater than in civil aviation, but I believe, even those risks must be measured against gain.
