While the Grob 120TP might be proving to be a success, I'm still wondering whence the next generation of QFIs will come....
I was around at the start of flying training contractorisation and it was clear at the time the plan was for the new units to be staffed by ex-RAF QFIs. Only a very few did these jobs because it was looked from the offered remuneration that the contracts had gone to the lowest bidders, and there seemed to be an expectation that the QFIs would work for less because they had an RAF pension! Nearly all of my peers (similar age and experience) went to the airlines.
