MFTS EFT Structure

[Dwardy01]

Looks like the end of 703 NAS and 674 AAC as Ascent's new MFTS structure has one EFT SQN (likely to be 16 Sqn RAF headed by a Wg Cdr and the other two services reduced to Flt status. It's going to make the command and report structure interesting for Navy and Army QFI's.

And the end of 57 & 115 Sqn too, if your info is correct. :sad:

Will this be an end to the FAA and the AAC trying to outdo each other on the 'big flag little mast' thing at Barkston's main gate? ;)

I note that one of the jobs they're offering is for an experienced ex-military aviator with military flying training experience who seeks an 'exciting opportunity to both shape and deliver the future FW training programme'. Amongst the 'essential' requirements for anyone desperate enough to apply are:

• Squadron or Flight Commander Experience, capable of managing a team of specialists;

• Current or former Qualified Flying Instructor;

• A broad understanding of JAR/EASA regulations and JAR FCL in order to apply conformances across Ascent training....

Here's a piece of free consultancy for you - there is no such thing as JAR/FCL anymore! And I can probably count the number of ex-executive QFIs who have the vaguest idea of EASA Part-FCL on the fingers of one thumb!
