Despite the well documented problems, UAS does still give the Lads and lassies a chance to see what potential they have, without making any long term commitment. I suspect that the current policy of no top up flying will have to be re-addressed when the failure rate at Linton starts to ramp up. However, a thought for those of you caught in the hold, why not ask to hold with a UAS on a front line station. The Sqn will be glad of the extra help, and the seat time you will get on SCT rides should at least keep you interested. However, I agree with Pete, relying on EFT graduates to be keen enough to wait until the following April before paying them as members of the RAF is a really great idea--NOT.
