If the 2FTS farce is anything to go by, they won't be outsourcing AEF to private providers. They're just not ready to take the 'risk' that the civilian flying training environment allegedly represents. In fact, one of the first things they did after the 'pause' in gliding was announce that the existing arrangements for permitting flights in civilian light aircraft would no longer apply. Just when I was seriously considering it to supplement the meagre AEF available.
My crystal ball says we will have nothing but the VGS system left in 10 years, if that.
To the credit of Comdt AC, though, she did present a graph of air cadet numbers against hours flown - almost a perfect fit (they crashed together) and described it as the biggest risk to the organisation. She understands but can she do anything about it?
