Shifting the Problem?
CH,
Whilst it has always been in the interests of the UAS to get away from the 'head up own @rse' (as you put it!) attitudes of studes, things have already changed greatly. In the last few years alone there has been a change in emphasis towards the Leadership, Development and Service Trg side of life - like it or not. This is due mainly (but not solely) to the GTI (SGT PTI) on Sqn strength. None of the other staff are trained in PDT or such things - although we may soon have to be.
Yes - it will be a good thing to develop this further.
However, the outlook for the RAF's Pilot Recruitment plan can only be a more grim one than at present. You only have to look at the quality of some of the DE and 1st year Bursers (all branches) that have succeeded at OASC. It is not by any means as high as someone that we would recommend for entry into the Service apparently they have good raw aptitude though!
"An AGILE and ADAPTABLE Air Force that, person for person , is second to none, and that is able to provide a WINNING air power contribution to joint operations in support of the Defence Mission"
Are these changes going to help the RAF Vision in a flying sense?
The groundies will get a much better service out of the new system, of that there can be no doubt.
