isn't it sensible to grow and sustain a core of younger CATOBAR-experienced pilots

And so as ships/units/stations dissapear for ever just HOW do you justify filling posts that actually are totally non effective??
2 Conventional sized carriers being built.
Experience required to be built.
Fleet Air Arm training Naval pilots to fly off Carriers in the future.

glad rag
Do I understand correctly that you judge persons serving with another service "totally non effective"?
If so, is that because they are just practicing to do their role rather than doing it for their service?
Is it important where they practice and gain experience?

Crikey moses I feel faint....... I've found myself agreeing with Tourist twice in as many minutes........
We've commited to F35C, and cat and trap. It is imperative to gain and sustain a suitably size pool of knowledge and experience of what is one of the hardest disciplines in Fixed Wing aviation.
The guys over with the USN won't necessarily be just line pilots, but staff the ship as well in the Airboss role etc.
Good work by the FAA to sort this in challenging times.
I do wonder about the validity of FWS in the current financial climate though.....
