Very good point.
The trouble is, as professionals, we all know it takes time (& £££) to train a pilot. And then more time frontline as he gains experience and becomes not just useful, but an asset. Military aviation is inherently risky and so we need safety borne of training and experience.
There appears too much of a culture today - fuelled by beancounters @ the Ministry perhaps (but not rebuffed by those aspiring to make their mark and brass hat in some cases) - that is determined to produce instant "boil-in-a-bag" aircrew.
I prefer eating at restaurants!
