The major difference is that acclerated guys no longer have as big of an advantage with total graded items.
Actually, accelerated guys really didn't have any advantage built into the equation. That TGI adjustment was merely offsetting the fact that the flights they skipped were the ones where MIF was the lowest. Had they flown those flights they probably would have rocked them and their grades would have been higher without any "bump" needed, but they didn't fly them so to be fair the powers that be adjusted to account for not getting to fly the easy flights and having to do 2 flights worth of maneuvers in 1 flight. The reason that accelerated guys tended to do better had more to do with the training and SA that they had received on the civilian side. Everyone seems to think it is a "bump" because their NSS's are projected without the TGI adjustment, and then at the end they adjust to get the student back to where he should be. It's a win win; the student didn't get hurt and the Navy didn't spend as much training him.
I am curious as to how they will deal with accelerated students now. Without the TGI adjustment there is nothing to balance out the fact that the accelerated guys don't get to fly all of the low MIF flights, but more or less have to fly all of the high MIF flights. Sucks to be them under this new system.
And no, I wasn't accelerated so I am not defensive about this, but if you are honest with yourself and look at the old equation and the flights that people were accelerated through you will see that they weren't getting some unfair advantage.
