Hi Beags! Not sure I agree with " quality QFI-ing " statement lol! But do agree with the rest. Retention must be difficult when the choices are so limited! I actually asked to go to helicopters at my 38/16 point but was denied unless I had a bad back! They wanted me to go spec aircrew on Tornado! Needless to say I went to BA and probably earned more but it was sooooooo boring and hardly anywhere near as satisfying flying SAR helicopters!
