Widger,
There is no reason at all why the FA2 can't be run-on until because that was the original plan until that retard Hoon stuck his oar in. Unfortunately as Webf pointed out earlier, to reverse such a decision would require someone to admit it was wrong which politicians do not like doing. I hope John Reid takes the opportunity to review the decision based on reality of the situation. I still haven't come across anyone in the navy that agrees with it. I don't hold out much hope I must say but you never know.
