Interesting article high lighting the fact that the PVR rate for multi-engine pilots now stands at 24 for the year, 7 sqn commanders have PVRd and a couple of Stn Commanders and 87% of sqn Ldr pilots are leaving at their 38/16 point.
Also claims over stretched bad leadership crap procurement contracts lack of helicopters.
Also mentions that EADS has delayed the first flight of the A400M till the summer 2008.
