The engineering is one aspect of this sorry mess but there are almost certainly other agendas tied up in this affair,it has happened at a very convenient time for 'cost saving' (as if that ever works with mod !) - the volunteers have been left out in the cold and it will be interesting to see the 'background/make up' of the future instructor staff.
Either by accident or design (or a bit of both ?) it has been a very convenient grounding whilst the whole gliding organisation is redesigned !
What are all these hidden agendas? On one hand those in 2FTS are accused of not being able to organise anything, while simultaneously arranging a most bizarre method of cost cutting by spending loads of time and cash?
