Well, no EFT at UAS and just 10 hours 'voluntary' flying per year? The rest of the time being spent on 'Force Development/Leadership and Personal Development' eh?

That should get them flocking to join.....the OTC. If they want to do such things properly and get paid rather better!

If what I've had sight of should ever come about, perish the thought, it'd be more cost effective to shut up shop altogether and to send people to flying clubs to get 30 hours' training.

I see BA's shares are up today. Did you know that they've been recruiting people from places like Oxford and Jerez who haven't even completed their CPL/IR courses yet!

Is there no-one sufficiently testiculated to be able to put a stop to this stupid idea to dumb down UAS flying training? Or will they all roll over on what is tantamount to wanton destruction of our heritage?
