That is one way of looking at it - the other is that they are going to send more to Linton to 'have a shot a their dream' and then weed the weaker ones out later on.
As for the idea that they 'have to dash some dreams' - thats the way it has always been and probably always will; how about the guys on EFT who don't get streamed where they wanted to go, what about their dreams
In some ways it is fairer to do any restreaming at Linton, that way at least the unlucky ones have had a real crack at it rather than judged after little more than a PPL course in a light aircraft.
