Airpolice,
I can't see that being an issue as the techniques taught at EFT differ markedly in certain areas from PPL (notably the cct, but plenty of others) and the RAF has a very positive attitude towards non-grad recruitment (slightly selfishly because it means they Pvr later!). As for abbos flying the Grob as the first thing they get airborne in, don't think that the glass cockpit will be the limfac. However, I'll start a book now on how many months it is before the first student lands one wheels up!
