Fantastic response Ecam. I don't know your background or your current position but you speak with obvious authority on the current situation. Yes, if what you say is correct, my allusions have certainly been adjusted.
It will be very interesting to see what the outcome of my application will be and whether any flexibility exists in the funding of type ratings.
The route to command is also very interesting.
Using your insight, when are candidates expected to hear from easy about the next stage of recruitment?
