Excuse ignorance, but does not the RAF have a right of appeal to a second reporting officer senior to the 1RO?
I ask because after many years my "fitted for further promotion" dropped from Yes to No on the grounds that I was soon to be in my final year. I pointed out to 2RO that this would be a strange unjustified blight on my CV and the report was changed to "fitted"
with a few explanatory caveats.
Not that I wanted another job, but pride was involved. 41 years' hard labour is enough for anyone!
