I really do not want to get involved in the current thread of my willy is bigger than your willy, but for what it is worth:
Once a true 'steady state' has been achieved then we will be able to assess and evaluate the true merits (or failings) of an Army Training system in order to establish exactly how long it takes to train an Army pilot.
I have received some polite messages requesting that I remove the content of my post for various reasons (I do have courage of my convictions, just may have caused offence - which was never my intent) - therefore I am happy to oblige. I have left the first and last paragraphs so that the general idea can be obtained
Chicken Leg, your post below is correct (to a point) at time of writng - but I think you will find that it includes many that are not QHIs - it is just that those that were on the later time bars couldn't PVR, but it is now recognised that once their time bars are up (in the near future) then many will be off (unless re-time barred on other qualifications - e.g. QHI).
No names - no pack drill and maybe I have got it completely wrong and those threatening are truly bluffing their ticket with their CO - in which case if this is steady state and the Army Pilot Training system is in steady state then the answer to this question (and to many others posed on Prune) on how long to train an Army Pilot is visible to all after a simple google search.
