Personally speaking, I got binned from BFJT at the halfway point, didn't get offered another cockpit and went back to OASC. I got offered WSO, which I gladly took. I was streamed to Fast Jet and am currently having a very rewarding time practicing the art of the navigator. I found that my skills were better suited to the cerebral than the motor skills. If I was offered the chance to re-role back to pilot, I wouldn't take it. I've been a nav longer than I was a pilot and I prefer what I do. Compared to the piloting, I find the Nav'ing much harder, but the satisfaction is far greater and, although my past experience may have helped me, I am now a far better aviator than ever I was. (Although my instructors may question that I have develped at all
)
I can't speak for other WSOs, but I would hope that my positive experience is typical of those who have crossed over. You may be amazed to learn that there is more to flying than being the bus driver!
