I suspect someone researching the definition of air power doesn't take long to conclude that the RAF is in a terrible state, given the extensive coverage in the media (and indeed this forum) of glacial flying training, poor accommodation and numerous discrimination cases involving serving personnel. Hopefully the new CAS will help make the service somewhere people might actually want to join...
Right, you can argue back and forth over culture war stuff but if a new joiner is likely to spend the majority of their time holding in some non-job waiting for life to begin, recruiting is going to be a problem.
