CSD, you know I respect your view and agree with your way forward. ACG may well have a sales pitch to make, but at the flight screening level it doesn't alter the fact that the down pitch being played by Joker89, Upgraded and finestkind is simply wrong. If they really feel the way they advocate then they have no place in any defence force, let alone a modern one faced with all the identified challenges.
A big NB: I am proud of my fighter hours and can honestly say they were quite a variety of experience. If a 6 hour brief to get a few good hours of flight time is what it takes, that will always be better than a logbook full of the same old boring hour watching the auto-pilot take me to another different international airport. If you want that life, join an airline!
