There is a big Observer shortage across the board.
Just sitting on the fence but will this have an influence on any decision to either discontinue, continue or increase the FRI (for the RN)?
IMO, keeping an eye on the commercial aviation sector, the airlines are starting to recruit more people with low houred fATPLs - a prime job for a disillusioned Obs williing to spend his/her gratuity on a licence.
As I said, just sitting on the fence and sorry to hijack the thread.
