Why was it so difficult for someone to say, "we only need 40 minutes in the sim, not an hour" and get the paperwork changed?
Agreed
The same applies for any other instances of "pencil whipping" that may have gone on. If the recurrent training/ continuation training requirement does not fit in with the RAFAT's bespoke operation, or is not achievable given the demands placed on the Reds then somebody needs to "man up", to use the current vernacular, and get the rules reassessed/rewritten.
