Having read my post maybe I could add an example to explain what I mean. 30 years ago a single seat fighter pilot had to fly in a cockpit that was not ergonomically designed in an aeroplane that was probably not very forgiving. He (deliberately worded as such) was also probably employed in a single role.
The single seat fighter pilot of today gets to fly an aeroplane that can largely look after itself but must deal with multiple systems and sensors. He/she will be fulfilling multiple roles at once.
Do we all believe that the training system should remain unchanged or move with the times?
I may be deluded (I am more than willing to admit when I'm wrong) and can only speak for the FJ world, as I continually state, but the current system works as well as it ever did.
Based on my experience I can only suggest that those in the other streams give the system a chance and it may just turn out alright.
