Similar to Ken, my BFTS course of 10 (Graduates, so 100+ hrs Bulldog already) yielded 6 FJ pilots, 3 truckie pilots and an FJ Nav QWI. The guy chopped was, by his own admission, lazy. A fault he promptly remedied on Nav training. I had 3 guys chopped off my AFTS, all of whom were glad as it stopped them killing themselves due to lack of capacity. They all qualified as ME pilots. The pilot chopped off my OCU course was for lack of aggression, which he acknowledged. He went back to ME (it was the second time he'd been chopped on an FJ OCU, so they gave him a fair chance).
All in all, I thought it a fantastic training system. It certainly made me what I am now. I am now a qualified instructor/teacher/lecturer in 5 different fields, rated exceptional in all of them, and I draw on my RAF experiences every day.
