A lot of the former VGS staff have already seen the light and found other things to fill their time ! Added to which a lot just cannot be bothered to re-cat including ALL ground exams, and Vigilant min of 17 hrs - god knows how many launches for Viking, thus the "pause" of 2 yrs 8 mths has caused a huge loss already. Add to that things like restrictions on hours per Vigilant A/C per month which cannot be exceeded and where if below max, no credit allowed over the minimum in following month unless authorised...........................and of course the eventual total demise of the Vigilant when time expired, as the original concept of engine refit and glass cockpit has been binned due to the costs of the present farce.
