Anyone know how many slots are going to be made available and how many are going to be trained?
Also, are they all NCO aircrew/ navigators on cross-over training who are to undergo training at Kidlington or 'kids-off-the-streets'?
My experience of OATS is that the majority of their instructors are ex-mob with a good handle on what the RAF wants and, because they've left,what the RAF needs.
Formation flying and low-level nav could be learnt on the Sqn, as it is presently done or as at METS prior to the 'tyros'release to the OCU, sorry I mean 'End User Training Provider'.
