I completely agree with the comments made by SirToppamHat.

It is potentially going to cause a lot of problems. The WSOs are doing a very curtailled Phase 2 when they go down the Bunker in a few weeks. How can they be expected to learn all the tools needed to control in a bunker and then continue on a considerably more difficult E3 conversion cse immediately after? Surely a spell of consolidation would be sensible.


What if they do fail? Perhaps the E3 cse will be another auto-grad situation?! The FC branch has to hope not!!

Deliverance,

Agreed, it is a massive lottery as to how good the control you get is. The bunkers have a massive problem with experience so the odds are severely against you getting a competent experienced and relaxed controller. Half the time you get a baby controller who has little experience of controlling anything other than 2v2 in the MDAs.

A few of us try to keep the standards up!!
