When K****n R******k forced such a system on the Covert Oxonian Aerodrome, everyone suffered. Squadrons lost identity, the 'menders' were relocated over 2 miles from the 'benders' - and all the hard work of building up standards of excellence on the individual squadrons was thrown out of the window thanks to this so-called 'management initiative'....
. Serviceability became ever worse, team morale plummeted (folks who would previously have sold their granny to get a posting to the stn now did anything to avoid it) - everyone hated it. Great; task, team and individual needs all suffered..... To sum it up, a young ex-C130 Air Engineer on the VC10 said that his first year was the best posting he'd ever had; his second year was the worst he'd ever had and he'd do anything to get back to the C130.... I think he later PVR'd.
So now there's some new smart acronym around the bazaars to disguise yet more cuts, is there?
Such is progress.
