cutbacks and refusal for pilot training.
A friend of a friend had recently completed his officer training with the RAF and was awaiting his pilot training, when he was told that due to cutbacks there was no availability for him to become a pilot.
As far as i know he has stayed on the RAF and honoured the 'officer first pilot second'. This happened quite recently, so i wondered where on earth people are hearing the rumours that the RAF is short on Pilot applicants?! Can anyone shed some light?
