Farfrompuken,
If you are on your TR course now then you should easily beat the deadline.
The Sqn Ldr/Flt Lt in post at 22Gp are working on this but were posted in late in the game so not their fault as individuals, same old story. I believe there may be a disconnect between the RAF and CAA over this in terms of who's job it is to make the case. The argument being should it be the RAF because it is in their members interest or the CAA because thay are responsible for setting national policy.
As hard as the team at Abbey Wood work I just can't see it being signed off to be policy by the deadline. I hope I am wrong as I was that QSP who left in 06 and benefited greatly from the exemptions in place. Many thanks to all the old boys (Beagle?) who had worked so hard to get them in place and all the best to the current team trying to do the same.
