At some point a line is going to have to be drawn under this. The MoD will have make a decision to go for it or chalk it up as a bad idea as something that couldn’t be made to work. The endless postponements are doing nobody any favours and it is frankly getting silly.
They couldn’t get the new military CFC to work.
They are struggling to get a Civilian CFC to work.
Good money is being thrown after bad.
Is it approaching the time for somebody to make the hard decisions they are paid lots of money to make?
To be more correct than previous, current officers holding RAFVR commissions (Note: officers aren’t commissioned into the VR(T), just appointed to the Training Branch) will transfer to the Cadet Forces Commission on 02 Dec.
Only new officers will be commissioned directly to CFC from 01 Dec.
If they were going to do that now would be the perfect time for them to do it and save some political face. New Defence Secretary, new priorities would be about as good an excuse as they could give.

Kinda like the gliding debate… try lots of fixes and then find it has cost more than replacing the fleet

It will depend on the rank of the person who decided this was a good idea, 2* and above (then or now) there’s no chance and we’ll stumble on blindly, because they would lose too much face.
Also there are too many gongs etc I imagine riding on getting this to happen for it not to.
There is the factor of have they done the making a decision course and passed it, by not making a decision.
