Well, the 'accreditation of military flying training and experience scheme' seems to have eased the passage (
) of a fair few folk into the civil airlines.
Originally, it was intended to keep people in until they had at elast reached the qualifying hours. But now, it seems, many are jumping before they get that far despite the generous terms we secured with the CAA for experienced QSPs.
The airlines and other commercial air transport operators are indeed expanding - and are snapping up all ex-military pilots they can. Yet no-one seems to be doing anything to encourage anyone to stay.
How long now until the whole RAF implodes?
If Binnsworth wants sympathy, it can be found in the usual place. In the dictionary, between $hit and syphilis and closer to squadron leader than sorry!
Morning, Jock!
