Which "AEOp crap" should be left out?
Would that be the airmanship crap, the SNCO development crap, the flying crap???

Read the above quote from akula. This is exactly what the course is intended to do - particularly the 20 hr Dominie package. I'm guessing from your posts that you may be a linguist, which is your specialisation within the NCA cadre. As such you are AIRCREW and therefore, like all other aircrew in all specialisations, you need to undergo 'FLYING TRAINING'!! Are you really suggesting that the Linguists should have a totally separate flying training regime (that would increase training costs by a very large sum of money the RAF does not have), where you can be assessed solely on your language skills and not on your awareness, capacity, SNCO qualities and other aviation skills that require you to achieve whilst under pressure?? I am sure that on your aircraft type, you are expected to be as professional and competent in all aspects of aviating as all your other brethren aircrew are in their specialisations. If you are indeed a linguist, I am absolutely astounded that you feel that you can bypass all this so you can sit on your aircraft and 'just' be a linguist.
