+1 to Atlasisrubbish. There are many profound problems facing the RAF but successful leadership and delivery of operations is not one of them. In fact the front line groups have rather shown that they will churn out results to the best of their ability regardless of how much of a mess CAS and his cronies are making of the wider organisation. So, the next CAS does not need to be an operator; they need to be someone with experience of acquisition, programming/finance, HR, in-service support, logistics... all the things that need unf*cking and fast. Wiggy appeared to be utterly clueless on all of the above (unsurprisingly, when you look at his CV). RK fits the bill perfectly.
