Tourist,

You're not AOC2Gp are you?

Joking aside, I'm touched that you hold RAF multi engine pilot training in such high regard. Unfortunately your post demonstrates that you have absolutely no experience of it or, I suspect, direct involvement with any sort of military aviation other than as a passenger. At least I would hope not!
Consequently your opinions relating to decisions made by crews or the complexity of the task they carry out are worth a good ignoring.
However, assuming that you might have been transported by RAF AT at one time or another, your opinions taken in the context of those of a passenger are worth taking note of. They clearly show why RAF AT will always have a less than startling reputation with their customers. Because the decisions made for reasons of fatigue, weather, serviceability etc are the final preserve of the captain. He will act in the interest of your saftey, but if you think you know better, then you will always be dissapointed with the call.

Take it from me , you don't know better

Cheers, Arty
