MATE, EVEN THE RAF DOESN'T KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING TO THE UAS'S!!
EXCEPT THE EX HIGH RANKING OFFICERS (OLD DUFFERS)WHO ARE DUE FOR RETIREMENT AND WHO HAVE DONE THEIR LEVEL BEST TO SECURE THEMSELVES A JOB ON THE AEF'S WHICH ARE DUE TO DO QUITE WELL OUT OF ANY PROPOSED CHANGE. THANKS BOB!!
BUT TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION CHUM, THE ANNOUNCEMENT WILL COME IN 2 WEEKS ABOUT WHAT WILL HAPPEN AND IT IS HIGHLY LIKELY THAT THERE IS GOING TO BE NO EFT PRIOR TO IOT. NOT ACTUALLY A BAD THING. YOU WILL GET 10 HOURS A YEAR AIR EXPERIENCE BUT THATS IT. I DON'T THINK THAT THE MOB HAS THOUGHT IT THROUGH MUCH AND WE ARE TOLD THAT OUR BOSSES ARE BIENG SUMMONED DOWN TO BE TOLD IN 2 WEEKS OR SO. DO STILL APPLY, YOU ARE STILL GETTING FLYING OUT OF IT AND THE STAFF WILL BE ONLY TOO HAPPY TO TAKE YOU UP I AM SURE, AND IF NOTHING ELSE IT SHOWS YOUR COMMITTMENT. WE WERE TOLD THAT EFT IS DUE TO STOP THIS SEPT!!
GOOD LUCK MATE.
