Something of an own goal as I see it.
Not sure the DM got the information from here. That article clearly mentions male Squadron Leader as the whistleblower. The article copied in this thread makes no mention of these extra snippets.
As for own goal... if it gets the flight safety processes and flying training pressures looked into and problems get solved then it is as good as any England penalty in a world cup against Germany. It says a lot about a situation and the desperation felt when the only way to get a response is via social media.
