All of us who pursued this dream will understand the heartbreak this will cause.

I read in the media that these trainees are to be ditched forthwith. Whilst I understand and grudgingly accept the rational for the cuts, when I read that students a mere few hours from getting their wings are to have their training terminated I was stunned. Is that true? Surely the least compensation they should be offered is the chance of completing their courses? No doubt some clever-dick will know the administrative expedient which makes that impractical, not that I'm interested in hearing it.
