it was going to come one day Jelly - I'm horrified that it has but Military flying training has been messed up so badly by the dogma of contractorisation that it's not a huge surprise.

If you need more QHIs and the system is too slow to produce them (and you are bleeding experience as people jump ship) then the idea of a creamie becomes more attractive.

For those that don't know the term it comes from the FJ world where the best students on the course were 'creamed off' to become instructors without any operational experience. Much like low time PPLs hour building via the AFI route.
