Nige,
I agree with your sentiment, but I think you are overplaying the landing short incident.
How much MCT prevents serious sink in the undershoot, as that airfield is famed for?
As I have previously stated, landing short shouldnt happen, but it does from time to time. ( I am talking about 10 yards short here, not half a mile).
All fleets are going to come under increasing pressure to reduce training allocations, due to unservacability and of course, budget. The message that needs to get across is this: People need to be proactive in flaging up if they feel that the lack of flying is getting to a stage they feel uncomfortable with. Not Unsafe, uncomfortable. People also need to ensure "btr magicery" doesnt occur and the BTR extension process is used correctly. Ultimately, it will be Station STANEVAL staffs responsibility to monitor this and more importantly, demand more hours off the station executive if they feel that is what is required.
