The Fleet Air Arm was a proper LEAN Organization...
Seriously though, if it takes four years to train a fast jet pilot there's clearly something wrong with the present system. Not that the proposed system seems likely to solve the problem.

"The use of ex-military personnel should also ensure a steady
throughput of instructors for the training system"
Once the military has no longer any need (certainly in large numbers) for its own instructors, where will the supply of ex-military instructors come from to maintain that military ethos in MilFlyTraining PLC?

The problem is:
not Lean,
not the salesmen,
not the product on offer,
not the IT system and
not the manpower to be used.
The real problem is the people who are listening...

The word lean is not mentioned once in the OP's article. There are gross inefficiencies in many aspects of the RAF (read Public sector in toto), flying training is but one of them. Making something more efficient is but one lean principle.
