>This is clearly wrong, why are less capable people being given a chance to restream whilst more capable pilots are being withdrawn as aircrew?
As stated before, in whose opinion.
>Is this a high level decision to get rid of more aircrew, simply a case of bad timing for the chopped pilots or is there simply no reasoning behind it?
If there is a slot and you are good enough, you will get it. However there is more competition for slots at the moment.
>That by getting to an OCU, you are given enough rope to hang yourself with: if you fail, in their retarded brains you've proved you can't cope with a multi-engine OCU..... so chop him!
There is an element of truth in this. There is a lot more for them to base their decision on. You can not assume that everyone who fails helicopter training is worthy of a place on multis. However there is also an element of luck involved. This would not be happening if there was a demand for multi pilots
