"It can also be revealed that the trainee pilots impacted by massive delays in the flying training pipeline have effectively been warned a leak of documents that shed light on their predicament might even worsen their situation rather than improve it."

"A message, which has since been seen by @SkyNews, was distributed widely throughout the RAF, warning against leaking information to the media."

"The author of the official-sounding note said they suspected Air Chief Marshal Sir Mike Wigston and the rest of the senior RAF leadership "are in a total tailspin about this"."

"They will now be less likely to view the student cohort's predicament favourably, too."

"Would you, in their position. The military is all about trust, if you betray that knowingly by leaking reams of official info… then you can expect that betrayal will have consequences."

An INTERNAL inspection FFS!!! So the same psychophantic cretins who designed and implemented this insanely stupid system are the the ones who will look into it! It was blindingly obvious to every Flt Lt QHI/QFI I knew that Ascents plans were doomed to failure and we pratically begged the heirarchy to listen to us, but they all 'knew better'.

Every VSO who was involved with MFTS should lose their pension as penance for presiding over this utterly predictable (because we predicted it!) farce. It will take a generation to undo the damage that MFTS has inflicted on the Services - good job there is not much conflict looming on the horizon...
