Many years ago my primary motivation to join the Air Cadets, as a young lad, was for the flying ... which I would suggest was the primary driver for most of us back then. Based on what I have read on this thread ... I now consider myself very fortunate indeed in gaining the experience, confidence and personal responsibility that came as a direct result of chasing after every opportunity to fly ... some of which was as a result of extramural initiative on my behalf.
Given what has been said here over some 94 Pages/1,900 Posts (and you can't all be wrong) it seems that 2FTS should take a careful look at what CAS launched today ...
Start talking to each other more in person; then we'll better appreciate the different things we all offer.
Be open-minded and receptive. Make room for imagination, creativity and innovation. Promote diverse thinking and encourage innovation from others. A good challenge should be met with a good response.
Good leadership can also be inspired by good ideas.

... as it would seem that such an approach has been missing over the last two years in arriving at a High Performance Solution to the Air Cadet Gliding issue.
