Right sorry gotta bite.
The new course makes it easier for NCA to move around between specializations does it? Who exactly? Ah yes our AEOp chums. I believe no rotary mate cross trained yet to AEOp but not sure if any would. Why does it mean longer OCU's exactly? The new course has just delayed people who are streamed rotary actually getting to the squadrons.
I agree the course seems to cover a wide range of topics producing a well rounded trainee. However I think the extra cost in training should have been given to OCF's to produce a more rounded character specific to the aircraft they are going to be working on!
