The OTC has one major advantage over the UAS...cash money!!! I got the impression during recruiting that the lads & laddettes on the OTC and RNU were reimburssed considerably more than the UAS students. However, we did have a couple of candidates who would gladly give up their OTC membership for a chance to fly. I know the system I proposed earlier is a rehash of the original Cranwellian method (I hoped no-one would notice) but will the little darlings really miss university life? What about the adventure of being a 22 year old fast jet pilot on operations around the globe? I guess they might seem a bit sheltered and unworldly compared to their peers pissing it up in the Union bar at Wolves!!!
