The new EFT Sqns don't formally "stand up"* until 1 Apr 06, so it is possible that some UASs still have the DE courses. I suppose my UAS still does even though we have already split, physically if not formally, into UAS and EFT Sqn. As for how it's working, well the PDLT seems to be working fine, but the flying has tailed off quite a bit. It's just as well as I feel really busy trying to work out a calendar for the New Year (how to run a PIFT or Summer Camp for instance), but I should like to think that it won't be only the mad keen new 1st years who will come flying. Of course it could be that my "presence circuits" need recharging and I should offer special incentives to the studes: how about an extra 10 mins aeros per 3 sorties flown before Easter?

Seeing this quote from earlier in the thread worried me. Many years ago, I had a pair of letters offering me cadetships from both organisations mentioned... I took the one that lands me in the "military aircrew" forum rather than any other, and I do often wonder if that was the smartest move in my life...
*Ghastly Murcan expression now unversally adopted it seems; why can't we have our own expressions, and what was wrong with the Bingos and Joker the way we have had them for years, moan-moan-moan ...
