The direction of travel on this looks to be one way so it wouldn’t be a surprise if PA sqn ldrs got caught eventually.
PAS Sqn Ldrs are very susceptible to it, as PAS MAcr are thought to be well within the catchment zone. It needs an explanation from the PensPol people now, as it is just not going away and is definitely a push factor.
