InTGreen,
The thing is, we're effectively in our third year of training...

Check out
http://www.pprune.org/forums/showthr...hreadid=127314 for the recent discussion on this. To summise, the situation
AFAIK is this:
- 211 got cancelled because of RAF general downsizing
- There is also a surplus of pilots in the training system
- There is no pay above the 35 day cap available for those who planned to enter in August but now have been delayed to potentially February
- Strictly, your UAS membership will expire by September
- New Gen: Even EFT-trained bursars are not chop-proof, and your place at IOT is not guaranteed. From what I gather, there has been some investigation into potential candidates for an invitation to ground branch or Civ Street. It's clear that only a real waste-of-space that slipped through the OASC net would be worth binning after the investment of EFT etc, but that it is being considered is fairly worrying.
Make sure you do well in your finals- you might need to fall back on your degree and no-one's impressed with a Desmond.
Please keep us informed with latest gen at your end on this.
"Dave"
