Disgressing very slightly, you sum up very well the Chinook Mk3 fiasco. (10 years or so late). The young fast tracker in charge (!) told the Sqn Ldr and Wg Cdr who were trying to prevent him committing howlers to **** off, he would grade skip in a few months and would soon be their boss. To be fair to the young lad, he didn't discriminate, as he told his civvy colleagues to do likewise. As I said, I digress, as he was overvalued.
