When the initial impact of the pandemic began to take effect, there were many predictions as to job losses in the future along with organisations furloughing personnel.
Historically, any form of economic downturn has always benefitted Armed Forces recruitment . This is not to suggest the RAF doesn't hold an attraction, it always will, but also, please bear in mind many of those joining no longer see doing so as a full career option. The view for many is that service in the RAF will be a contributor to a portfolio of career changes and options for them.
