"Afterwards, everyone does a BFT Tucano/JP course, with a slightly different start depending on your background..."

Which is precisely what used to happen in the early 1970s. Ex-UAS did 125 hrs on the JP3/5, DE did 140. You were then awarded wings and streamed to AFTS; FJ to the Gnat at Valley, ME to the Varsity at Oakington and RW to the Whirlwind at Ternhill.

It worked very well indeed.

Then the rot stared with all the SAFT Gp 1 Ph 1 nonsense - and flying training never really recovered....
