wannabeTyphoon, sorry to hear that things are so bad.

Rumours that there aren't enough trained QFIs for Ascent's training task and that student training has had to be restricted (if not binned altogether, except for a few on 208), whilst frantic attempts are made to train further QFIs, would appear to be true.....

But is there really now a 9 month delay in student output targets as a result of Ascent's fai...'issues'?

Are the wheels already coming off this half-baked piece of short-termist nonsense?

I hope that you will get to that Typhoon seat one of these days, wannabeTyphoon and that it will be worth the wait. I sincerely hope that it will be. But perhaps their airships need to think less exclusively about the futile North-West Frontier campaign and more about long-term sustainability?
