Some interesting comments on another thread regarding this so would a Direct Entrant Scheme for FS and WO be workable?
It would be massively dependant on the profession, would you have an ex Tesco manager with a degree in leadership & management signing off reds and greens for aircraft? (I understand a lot more would go into it, requiring maybe engineering/worthiness backgrounds etc)
I'd like to think not. But in other professions, maybe? But I'm sure each profession would argue its case on why it would/wouldn't be ideal.
As for respect, would they be given the same respect a normal FS or WO would recieve who has been through the ranks and done the dets etc. I'm honestly not sure they would.
I worked in Tescos before I joined up and their managers were some of the biggest bellends going with zero leadership skills.
You'd also need a posting near a Greggs.Also, not sure that I'd be comfortable trying to slot back into an organisation and lead people that had been a part of that organisation for years, whilst I just saunter back in.

No need for a local Greggs, they do frozen ones that I can take with me and cook fresh... the modern world is amazing!You'd also need a posting near a Greggs.

I had heard that there was some DE entry to the police, but there has been criticism (may be unconnected) of the way the police are being managed at the moment and the way efforts seem to be being focused.Civvy police did/do a DE to inspector rank. There was a RAF Reg Wg Cdr got offered a post allegedly. Don't know if it was seen as a success or not.
