Greetings all.
I wish to solve a bit of a conundrum with which I'm faced. The company I work for has a spot on offer from Pax River. They are baulking at taking it stating that, as our last two TP's attended Pax, it's time for a change of philosophy and they want to wait for an ETPS position.
What are the differences between the two schools for TP training both academically and practically? I'm aware of the obvious differences (Privately run fixed/rotary streaming at ETPS vs government operated broad aircraft test at Pax), what I'm not privvy to are the subtleties. I don't think there are that many to warrant the passing over of a Pax River slot for another 6 months to go to ETPS on an intangible gut feel by non T&E qual'd aircrew.
Could someone give me the detail that I'm missing? Thanks.
