Everyone calm down. It is a symbolic gesture, a bit like an honorary degree from a university. It will look good on his uniform when he is head of state. He will not be LCR or CR or be operating aircraft in op roles. Good on him i say. He wants to do more, but despite it being almost his train set, the unseen powers in the civil service say exactly what he can and cannot do. He has no choice in the matter. He could either accept the limited training offered to him, or not participate at all. We do not have an absolute monarchy and he is not permitted to decide very much at all.
