Re: apache pilots required
That's always been the way, especially in the RAF. My moles tell me it is almost completely due to the "man management" coming from AG14, if that's what it's still called (they're the guys that do the postings). There have been a couple of juicy sessions where the Apache guys have just got up and walked out of the meetings, due to the patronising attitude. They then proceeded to do their licences and PVR.
