I assume you are referring to the transfer of the EFT course from UAS and back to a full-time, post-IOT course. It may have caused a change to the UAS experience, but IMO it was a good decision. The UAS students that want to fly, do (same course as before, just not scored) and the money paid for the flying training goes to those, full-time
officers who have proved their commitment and joined up. As they are full-time, they focus fully on the course and don't spend half of each sortie revising what they were taught on the previous sortie.
If you weren't, then I'll dismount from my horsey.
I suspect there will be more adverts for FTRS on UAS's this year.......
