BEagle...serious about your comment of only using UASs for air experience? Surely if this was the then case the guys who got 100 hrs pre EFT would cr@p all over the ab initios who didn't attend a UAS. Guess who would make up the bulk of MElIN studes purely due to an hours disadvantage?!
As for the FJ x-over bit...I understand the first three studes do have more than EFT experience (208 sqn, BFJT and Puma) but apparently are guinea pigs for the new course. Word is that if successful it will be open to all multi studes in the future (if the RAF stick with it.)
