Im very happy for people to join/rejoin the RAF. However, in my humble opinion, it cannot be at the expense of people in the training systems, on the ocu or front line. Those who have chosen a career and life in the RAF.
There are so many capable people who have left that would be most welcome back. I think manning have stated it won't be to the detriment of those who are currently serving.
We shall have to see on that promise.
