If one of my 'flippets' ever wants to join the mil after uni (if they get that far), then, certainly, I would not recommend the proposed University 'Ground' Sqns - the OTC or URNU would get my vote - depending on whether my 'precious ones' prefer eating mud or salt water!
Even with the 'attraction' of 10 hours air experience a yr, any undergrad worth their salt would think likewise - EVEN those already wanting to join the RAF after uni! Intelligent youngsters are more than capable of reading between the lines and they will know they would get a better deal (AND MORE FUN) with properly run units, rather than with the shambles that UASs are doomed to become.
If we continue down this path, we are in danger of losing out to the RN and Army and, as I have said before, to the airlines who are staring a shortfall of pilots in the face.
Spirit of Lord Trenchard - where are you now?
