I feel truly sorry for the Services having to put up with this crap. The civil service did something similar 30 years ago, with Unified Grades. At first, and as Bob Viking said, no real change - an engineer was still an engineer.
But only until you got your letter from the Air Vice Marshal, when all became clear. In my case my new line manager was a young lady supplier in Harrogate (210 miles north), three grades below me. I don't know who was more horrified. Little has changed.
So, all you Gp Capts, I want to see you jumping to attention and a smart salute when your admin clerk passes your desk in his/her/its outer office.
