Angry Pilot Training All At One Base???

What a great suggestion!
Aircraft need a lot of space, not just to land on but airspace. Are you really suggesting that all training activities should be conducted in the same already fairly congested airspace over some of the flattest, dull terrain in the country?
The reason that training bases are spread out is because they and their dedicated user areas, danger areas, areas of intense aerial activity and relief landing grounds are needed for, yes training.
Getting rid of CFS may reduce the chances of getting those "best pilots since 1945". Do you have any experience of military flying training Newt?
