Shy Torque - the incident I mentioned took place. I can't remember the name of the person involved, but older members of the RAF will know.
ABIW - 'twisted vitriol'? you are clearly a sensitive chap if you think that's what my relatively benign comments are. I think many would agree that while cynicism generally features in my posts, the advice given previously was measured enough.
I think that you're having a bad monday.
And in answer to your question regarding why there isn't a queue of RAF officers wishing to transfer to the AAC, have you ever considered that it is because we employ corporals to do the same job as a Flt Lt and that equivalence might have been all that they would get offered?
