When it boils down to it, it's all to do with money.
The cadetship (as it used to be, and not forgetting the class to class system) turned out ATCOs. It was unheard of for someone to fail at their final unit.
But Mr Moneypinchingidiotmanwhocouldn'tgiveastuffaboutsafety decided that the cadetships had to be drastically cut, and the class to class sytem abolished.
And I
believe that now all the actual flying content (PPL training and airline liaisons) is also to be cut !!
Ahh but that's progress for ya !!
