Vref+50 has posted an amusing but cynical post. But, in essence, what he says is right.
He makes good points and I quote from his post.
There is no way this scheme is going to run for years and years is there...? There are only about 450 new pilots a year in the UK and they need this many just to send slightly less than one cadidate per annnum.
This is almost true. The ACTUAL figure is
ONE candidate goes for training for - every
470 who apply.
Have you sent your £147 yet?
