Everyone on flying training is currently under the axe for redundancy in Tranche 1.
The whole training system has been split into 4 distinct groups:
Group 1: Those between start of IOT and intermediate handling on EFT,
Group 2: Those on EFT (past IHT),
Group 3: Those between finishing EFT and intermediate point on Phase 3 trg,
Group 4: Those after intermediate point on Phase 3 trg.
Group 1 will be sorted by studes retaking OASC aptitude tests - these scores, combined only with their end-of-IOT report, will make up the list. Top 70% of this list will carry on in the training system as normal, the other 30% will be sent to OASC.
Group 2 and 3 will be sorted on performance to date based on existing sortie reports - again, top 70% will stay, 30% will go to OASC.
Also, in Group 3 those who are waiting for streaming, will be streamed in one job lot.
Group 4 will be sorted similar to 2 and 3 and face a super-super-streaming; either staying on in training or not depending on sortie reports to date.
In this group though, only the top 65% will stay.
Everyone going to OASC will be fighting for a miniscule number of ground trades - for the majority of these though, it'll be redundancy.
