Having watched this thread since its inception, it does seem that the AF don't seem to learn any lessons at all. I was a victim of the "numbers game", as it was called 21 years ago. Plus ca change.........

As the AF sounds like a fluffier, cuddlier IiP place than the one that I knew, maybe you will have success with redress and employment rights.
