Downgraded should in my book equal no job unless you are upgraded within six months.
Of course that would work. So Flt Lt Smith, I know that you are medically downgraded as a result of your ejection from your Tornado. I know that you only ejected after your aircraft was hit by enemy fire and you heroically stayed with the aircraft until you were sure that it would miss the nearest school/hospital/nunnery etc. I also know that there are loads of flying related ground jobs that you could be employed in productively for the remainder of your career, that would benefit from your vast amount of flying experience. However, you have now been downgraded for 6 months so you will have to leave - rules (as instigated by Mr Skeleton) are rules. Oh and by the way your mate who is fully fit will now have to be posted from a flying tour to a ground appointment thus exacerbating the gapping of pilots on front-line sqns.
Things are never that black and white.
