Surely EFT on a UAS is more cost effective as you don't have to provide salaries for the students?
They might have some thought that EFT will now take the place of an immediate post-IOT hold during which you'd be paying them anyway, but I'm sure that adding an extra course won't decrease holds...
The idea of "EFT-for-all" after IOT seems alright; there's always been comments about disparity between JEFTS and UAS during my time through training, with syllabi not matching, worries about report writing etc etc. It's just a shame that UASs have to die completely to provide this. I'm sure the die-hard wannabes will still troop to substandard UASs, but I'm sure there're a lot of guys in the RAF now only there due to the deals the UAS offered them.
