I think we all agree that there are not enough people on the front line and too many people in HQ jobs. There seems to be a very big axe hanging over "staff" jobs. But, no doubt, there will also be cuts to the frontline if the papers and rumours are to be believed. But perhaps we should be a bit circumspect about blaming blunties for everything - a quick scan of the Air Force List seems to shows that the real grown ups are all aircrew and they are the ones have make these types of decisions.
