120.4 has - IMHO - got it spot on.
The bean counters have taken over the entire system and the philosophy of purchasing a Rolls Royce when a wee Smartcar can do the job has infiltrated the training culture.
A Smartcar CAN be fit for purpose but only if you can accept the restrictions it places on reliability, capacity, speed and flexibility. Its certainly the cheaper option.
OK - the Rolls is perhaps too expensive but surely there is sensible option between the two extremes that will satisfy the operational need and the bean counters.
