Leaving aside some of the more absurd comments made on this thread, I cannot understand why so many appear to support the idea of this hara-kiri. The UAS system, before it become some sort of 'Strength Through Joy' nonsense, was a proven, cost-effective way of providing top quality entrants to the RAF proper.
When RAFC destroyed the excellent Flight Cadet system at the end of the 1960s, the UAS system was seen as the intended replacement, followed by the Graduate Entrant course and a reduced-content Jet Provost course at Cranwell for those who arrived with PFB / PIFG. All pilots received the same course at the end of which they were awarded their wings, before being streamed FJ, ME or RW. This worked extremely well and had a global reputation for excellence.
Now look how things have deteriorated. ME pilots arriving at their OCUs with only around 30 hours PIC time........
