I don’t think anyone is trying to belittle your experience but maybe questioning the relevance a little.

You seem to think that the RAF of today is willfully ignoring years of hard won experience.

You also speak as if you were the only person to ever serve as a standards QFI.

I am about to start my sixth consecutive Hawk tour (on four different marks of Hawk in three countries). All of them have involved at least an element of serving as part of standards. I feel sure Wiggy can make similar claims.

Nobody is trying to ignore the lessons of the past. It’s just that, as aircraft types change and time progresses, some things will inevitably change. Not always for the worse, but not always for the better either.

You can also rest assured that the current generation take these things very seriously and do not rush to hasty decisions about any element of any profiles/SOPs/procedures.
