The guy copping the flack for these changes is a genuine bloke who cares a great deal.
Having taught at SHY, I can imagine a great deal of 'I don't like change' chatter doing the rounds amongst the staff, especially the civilians. I dont agree with the earlier comments about 'rest tours'. The work at SHY is hard and unrelenting, but different and stable. This seems to suit some people as once posted there for a rest tour, are never seen again outside LFA9.
The guys and gals of all services, or company, teaching at SHY do a tremendous job and provide a world class benchmark in helicopter flight training, but things can be done differently at SHY, and they can be done better. Give the changes time, and then if they clearly havent had the desired effect, they can be evaluated from a position of knowledge, instead of a half baked rant at the expense of a respected officer who is trying to make improvements.
