The course hasnt been cancelled its been "postponed". Typical use of words! Anyway it will still be run by the Sqn that was to run the Aug course just two months later. The reason behind this is due to only having 45 people assigned to the course. The small numbers is due to the cutting of Pilot recruiting. (From 180 to 100 each year, they have not actually stopped recruiting just slashed numbers.) The new course will also be brought in, hopefully, for 211 Cse. The new Syllabus was designed to be a much better representation of RAF Officer life and what we have to do post IOT. There will be less field leadership, yes that means less pinepole tripods, and more practicle leadership and alot more on welfare and management of subordinates.
