I despair when I think of the first class flying training system we had when I joined in the 80s and what it has now become, through relentless privatisation & cost saving schemes. The quality of student pilot arriving on my OCU today can be enough to make you weep, & in less than a year these guys & girls are going to be flying in Iraq & Afghanistan - in 3 years they're expected to become captains!
I suppose I can hope that MFTS will improve the quality of the pilots from the training system, but the endless pursuit of ever cheaper training will not produce the goods, I fear.
