Do they not realise that an immense amount of training is sorry was carried out at weekends rather than on one week courses?
By the way Pobjoy, as one ex gliding school staff member to another, I thought the word was 'cretins' (spelt i-m-b-e-c-i-l-e-s) not 'cretons'.
Any improvement in flight safety is likely to be negated by the increased risk of Air Cadets being involved in a road traffic accident due to their civilian instructors falling asleep at the wheel of the squadron minibus, when carting the cadets home on multi-hour journeys after their three six minute flights.
