Thats my guess anybody actually know the reason for the change.

Would a delay of 17 months before commencing the expensive flight training solve the above problem if it exists.
Also means that those who don’t make the grade can be retained

The post 2013 entrant contract calculates pension entitlements based on a career average earnings as opposed to previous ones whereby it was calculated based on an officers highest earning year.
So now instead of spending potentially 3/4/5 years on the cadet scale, they move and begin progressing through the officer scale.
There is the issue now though that the 12 year undertaking will begin upon qualification and presntation of wings as opposed to commissioning.
It will be interesting to see how it develops. Previously you could expect someone who was promoted to captain, after four years (graduate) to have maybe circa 600/700 hours of experience.
Depending on how long the wings courses are taking, you could see the same graduate getting promoted to captain with well under 500 hours.
Time will tell whether its a prudent move long term.

Since becoming qualified both pilots have been involved with #OpCovid19Assist transporting personnel and cargo throughout #Australia. We hope to bring you regular updates over the next few months from our high flying colleagues down under ???????? #AusAirForce#IrishAirCorps pic.twitter.com/fTOH2HE53a

In related news, https://www.rte.ie/news/business/202...75337-ryanair/'He died who loved to live,' they'll say,
'Unselfishly so we might have today!'
Like hell! He fought because he had to fight;
He died that's all. It was his unlucky night.
