As a current RAF member of the senior course at Shawbury, there have been no redundancies, re-branching or otherwise offered to any pilots, and no decisions have been made. Yes there are too many people in the system, no news however on how to solve this. Course ahead (already graduated) has long holds, who knows if that will be the same case for us?
Appreciate the gen there sir. How long are we talking here; 6 months, a year, 18 months? Because it seems likely that with all that time on the ground, aircrew will become very rusty!!!
