I think perhaps he should stick to what he knows.

Naturally the servicemen and women who make up the RAF would need to be either re-assigned to the other services or given a reasonable redundancy package. There would be little scope to absorb the manpower except for the expensively trained pilots and other specialists.
Has he ever been to RAF Brize Norton? Has he seen how many people it takes to operate the AT fleet? Yeah I'm sure we could just lay them all off and leave the transfered against their will pilots and a few RLC storemen to run the show.

His ignorance is outstanding. I do hope he isn't an example of the best of Sandhurst.
