KP - you'll be interested to know there are currently RAF Pilots, on hold, doing their Bridge watchkeeping certificates. Moreover, the budget sending people to the USN is the RN's (under Levene), and thus it is up to 1SL to spend. In much the same way it is up to CAS to spend his budget by sending RAF pilots to go and complete seedcorn for MPA (another capability we're unlikely to see soon).
Be careful of throwing stones when you're not quite sure if you live in a house with big windows.
