From the Training Pipeline thread:
IMMEDIATE MEASURES
RW Pilot. Army pilot courses will continue with no change. There will be a small reduction in RN cse sizes however, all new RAF RW courses will be halved in size with students not in trg placed in a hold, pending the decision on how to rebalance the pipeline.
Which gives some gravitas to theories concerning the air force losing a fleet whilst Navy SK pilots retrain on a new toy. It also explains why RAF Merlin OCF dates are sliding right with some conviction. However as the future of green Merlin appears to change on a daily basis, this does nothing for a feeling of job security or stability in life for anybody.
