Surge of recruiting has been 'too successful' and trades are now being closed
...which means in a years to come those trades will be 'top heavy'. I'm sorry but doesn't anyone keep an eye on the recruiters and the numbers anymore?
New plans to get the RAF down to 35,000
Great - I can just see those 'air ranks' who know that they don't have much of a job to do starting to get twitchy!
A new round of Redundancies
Another morale booster for the boys - especially if it is for Air Rank and above or 'Starred Officers'
Extending leaving age to 60 to reduce the pension burden
I don't know the calculations but don't you get a bigger pension for staying in past 55 (based on years served???).
I bet the 'starred officer discussion groups' didn't get to the bottom line -
The RAF is too 'top heavy' - make cuts there instead of the workers at the front line.
There - sorted!
