These are all valid points, however, nobody has addressed the subject of future positions once an individual has completed an Empowered post. It was always taken as read that a section ldr would gradually spiral up the posts or rotate around the Sqns, (wilts). But where do you place a 41 year old MACR post empowerment? Is he supposed to then sit on the side lines on a new a/c type under the management of another up-and- coming young MACR. ?
