Of we could go the way of the USA ROTC system with signing the dotted line, awarded bursary after attending OAsSc attend drill nights and weekends without fail extend summer camps to be month experiencing different life on a station, Not fail any part of 3 year activities especially Leadership. Then st end of awarded degree and passing everything Tr GRP throws in then 3 week intense (similar to the old TA TCb commissioning course) voila.
Btw do those budding F-35 pilots have to fly couple of hours in say Juno to learn VTOL handling like the old,days of the Harrier course when studes picked for that flew 5 hours at Shawbury on the Gazelle.
Whatever happens, let's hope it includes lessons on punctuation, spelling and grammar..
