Beags,
I suspect that the 10 hour people (poor $ods) will end up hoarding their hours in an attempt to have some continuity. Nothing until after their summer term exams, then 10 hours, then the the 10 for the following year immediately afterwards before starting the following autumn term.... As for the final 10....
I agree...that's what the sensible stude might do. The problem is that with only 1xUAS QFI and 2 gusting 3 AEF C2Is, there simply won't be enough slots on the FlyPro to fly 80 students x 10hrs in that time frame (when you take into account all other factors). NB also that the AEF guys are not going to be full time so how and when will they provide their hrs? Still a big issue to sort out.
The staffing means that student fg (instructional) will happen as and when the QFIs are available. If this is spread evenly over the course of a year, then each hr airborne wll be at least 30 mins 'rust-shaking' - so each stude effectively gets 5hrs (instructional) per year - doh!
Most studes don't fly their full quota as it stands so this may not be an issue...we wait with baited breath.
