Ascent will potentially be employing civilian (albeit it ex-military) QFIs.
And when the supply of ex-military QFIs dries up, as inevitably it will, what then? Whence will come the snake-oil salesmens' next instructors?
Even in the lowly GA world, more and more FIs are being picked up by the airlines as airline recruiting gathers pace. Now that the RAF has let its previously excellent flying training system fall into the hands of mercenaries, how will future instructor requirements be sustained.
Doomed, I tell ye, doomed you are!
