PN,
Short service commissions have been back for quite some time I believe, indeed I think that was the only entry route for WSOs towards the end. While that approach may answer what you do with new WSOs post 2019, it doesn't address them reaching the frontline quickly enough to be of use in helping the current strain on the Tornado fleet.
One also has to ask why anyone with half a brain (one presumes even pilots credit WSOs with half a brain?) would volunteer to join a trade that the RAF has already shut down once?
