S3 Ep 77 Robin Caine: Fast Jets to Human Performance
Description
Season 3 opens with Air Commodore Rob Caine, Head of UK Military Flying Training. We get straight into resilience, how stoicism and The Obstacle Is the Way shape his mindset, then into decision-making under pressure via the OODA loop.
Rob breaks down “Combat Edge,” a holistic upgrade to UK aircrew training that blends coaching, psychological skills, and cutting-edge synthetic/AR environments so more people reach the front line ready to fly, fight, and win.
We talk psychological safety, transparent debriefs, learning from mistakes (including Rob’s own QWI setback), and the basics that sustain high performance: sleep, nature, humour, and strong teams.
He shares why Ubuntu—“we’re good because we’re good together”—guides his leadership, and how mentoring from day one builds better aviators and better humans.
