UKMFTS Failing to Deliver...again
The UK ought to consider buying slots on the Euro-NATO Joint Jet Pilot Training Program (ENJJPT) to do all its training.

'Pilot Training aims to deliver 15–20 qualified pilots and 8–10 flying instructors annually.' so how many do we produce at mo?
4 x Raytheon Beech King Air 350, 5 x Leonardo AW109E Power LUH , I did see their first one at Farnborough Air Show 2010 (my pic below)
And last week their 109 fleet achieved 10,000 flying hours since service entry and not only they used for basic RW training they also can be tasked for medevac, disaster management and other assistantce to civilian authorities.
cheers
There are 113 USAF Air National Guards squadrons operating today. Is your sample size of one really large enough for you to "take some convincing that they are trained to a serious level"?
Shock Horror - persistent cost cutting and 'efficiency' measures reduce manpower, morale and capability - who could have seen that coming????
It would seem even the Red Arrows have been hollowed out in terms of resources judging by the damning forensic analysis in David Hill's excellent new book 'A Noble Anger'.
Those who have occupied the most senior levels in the RAF for the last 20 years should hang their heads in shame.

What performance metrics or key performance indicators has their performance been reviewed against? Who does their performance reviews?

Ewan.
You are, of course, completely correct. Please accept my apologies.
My glibness was over the top. Also it was intended as a bit of a dig at a self-confessed civilian who probably has no actual experience of guard units either way.

My point was that while you take aim at the employees, the problem here is the employer and the system that keeps these people employed. So, while "Wiggy-the-Woke" (to quote someone else here) continues to preside over an enormous cluster**** and focuses on things that are of no real importance to operational capability, it is the system that keeps him employed that has to be changed.
Of course not as you well know NZ does not have a FJ fleet, hasn't had one for some years now. It had A4 s ( all super pointy fast jet drivers considered not a fast jet anyway as they do with Harriers )but great ground attack machine which it was bought to do, plus anti shipping etc. I think his/her point is valid that with a working system you don't need numbers to provide a working training system you just need a working training system !

Presume though, this was all part of the grand Govt plan of changing the running the armed forces to be just like the civilian corporate world where fiddling while Rome burns is an art form among the upper echelons of pretty much every major large corporate organisation I've had the displeasure of working in during the last 15+ years.

The latest advert for the RAF says all jobs are open to apply for, who wants to be CAS?
