What excatly is your line on this then Vec, and from where are your opinions coming from? Is there there a "long queue forming" down at the Drose or are you now "sure that 750 NAS will not fold or disband or even struggle to operate because of a lack of pilots".
OK, to place my cards on the table. Im a QOI who once worked on 750 NAS and have had a keen and vested interest the UKMFTS. Many people have slagged off the UKMFTS for no other reason other than it exchanges military jobs for civilian jobs. 750 NAS will be one of the first RN Squadrons to embrace UKMFTS.

750 NAS is currently a Naval Air Squadron, Commanded by a serviceman BUT operated by civilians. Civilian Pilots, Civilian engineers and civilian Instructors. So what is going to change ? The Aircraft will change. The Hangar is in the process of changing...the Squadron is being painted....Thats it. Nothing else will change. Other than our students will be provided with some first class training using brand new state of the art aircraft with fantastic training opportunities and that is what UKMFTS is about.
