From a trade base of approx 1800, one a day will result in the trade ceasing to exist in 5 years! Now I know there's a balance being maintained with recruitment, however the RAF is struggling to meet its recruitment targets, and there will come a time when the trade is non-sustainable. I can only comment on the one trade, but I can assume that these figures are fairly common across the board. The meat on the bone is disappearing fast, and will only vanish more after some take the decision to jump post tranche 3. As PA has correctly identified, we are losing our best and most experienced pers; something has to give!
