I have heard this many times... “blame it on SDSR2010”. This was 8 years ago yet the situation has not remedied itself.
It has been 3 years since SDSR2015 (generally positive for the RAF) and even then the outcomes/timeline have not changed. Last I heard was people waiting up to 22 months after EFT. I know of many people who have taken over 8 years to serve FL FJ sqns.
The holding situation reflects extremely poorly on the RAF. It continues to create a very poor opinion of the service and eats away at much of the goodwill that young people have when the join.
