Indeed.
Doesn't the AP3003 (don't groan at the back) mention that when the RAF was formed the 'us and them' approach as seen in the RN and Army was frowned upon by Trenchard, wishing instead to have a force of professionals rather than a class based system?
Aren't we in the modern RAF in more enlightened times?
I'm not suggesting that officers and SNCO's do a spell on SWO's gang or that we are some kind of workers utopia (comrade) but by God people, we're talking about a Sqn Ldr washing a car!
We all bleed the same colour blood and outside the gates and out of uniform you are no better or worse than any other plebe out there.
I pity some of these attitudes. Oh how you shall tumble to earth with a bang one day when you re-enter the real world.
