EnigmAviation: Good summary.
My interpretation of the OC 2 Gp e-mail is that Vigilants will almost certainly get the chop, however cadets will get more AEF with the possibility of some basic handling? Still leaves a shortage of Viking sites/aircraft so I assume a reduced syllabus (plus part-task trainers) will be on offer, with fewer getting to the solo stage. To make the numbers work, I would also assume each individual cadet will get a reduced number of flights (glorified GIC?) and only the top performers/more committed will do the entire current syllabus.
