1. No one stays in just because they get BSA.
2. All personnel in the RAF have something to offer the private sector. Just because we aren't all pilots doesn't mean to say we are not employable.
3. Isn't it sad that blackballing is still evident.
Conclusion: You are from an RAF that changed years ago. The fact you still have contacts with the current one is irrelevant. Indeed, I wonder what good you did for the RAF in your day? Oh yes, you left. Thanks for that.
