Diggler,
Slightly cynical, I think so.
Speculative bull!!!!!, hmm, probably.
Short term BAE Systems could potentially make more money out of a student who needs extra hours but it won´t look too tidy to Britannia if one or two of their cadets graduate way behind their fellow cadets. Nor, I imagine, does it suit BAE Systems accommodation planning which right now is running to 100% capacity.
