have also been told that 50% of all pilots have the capability to go on to the FJ side of flying in the RAF. That makes 32 a year. This cant be correct can it?
They may have the capability but if the service need is elsewhere that is where they will go. There are other pilots than FJ.
DHFS are putting about 6-8 cse a year through with 12 pilots on each. So that accounts for a fair percentage of the leftovers ( excuse the phrase!).
