The flying clubs have gone, many students do their 3 years and have zero interest in getting airborne. They’re great kids with a great future in the RAF, but they don’t think like we did at that age.
If they are air cadets they do. They think exactly the same as we did as kids. True the ATC in my day was male dominated and the violence to match, but they still want to fly jets as a lot of cadet I see want t etc? Too right they do. they just don't get the chance due to the bean counters. As for MFTS, mates I know have the same opinion that the bull doesn't hide the massive shortcomings of the huge gaps in continious training. Currency to progress is everything. Same in my civvy job.
