No. It was all my own idea!
I used to frequent the Wannabees forums myself, long ago when BA were still offering full sponsorship. I overlooked the military myself back then, and I believe that many people do the same now. I just think it's a real shame that people will go to such lengths, getting a fATPL at their own expense just on the off-chance that somebody might offer them a chance to sit at the front of a big bus and watch it fly itself. Why do that, when there is a real demand for people to fly for the Navy? (Training paid for; salary paid while training; no financial risk; ok, it'll be hard work and you risk getting your nutz shot off, but nothing's perfect).
I had a quick look recently, and didn't see any real discussions about military flying. That's possibly because a lot of people go straight for the Military Aircrew forum, but that doesn't add up to many.
I don't really have an agenda, although it is in my best interests that the service doesn't die on its @rse due to lack of suitable applicants. The more people we have applying, the higher the standard will be in the future.
As to why the Navy is desparate for pilots and the RAF has too many, just ask yourself how many people who want to fly have ever considered joining the Navy. Not many! Not even enough! Plus the RAF is downsizing after having recruited more trainee pilots than it can cope with in the recent past. Even though the Royal Navy as a whole is downsizing too, the Fleet Air Arm is not.
