RAF Meltdown - Has it begun?
Over several months now, I have heard many rumours that a large amount of RAF personnel are/were sitting on their PVRs just waiting (perhaps for the recent redundancy announcement). I’ve also heard (albeit over a beer, about a friend of a friend who knows someone else), who is having trouble confirming his out date after submitting such a request. He actually wants to go that little bit earlier than his 12 month waiting time, but the excuse being given is that since the redundancy announcement date, some 700+ SNCOs have PVR’d and the authorities are snowed under! If that is true, I wonder what the official PVR figure is for the whole Air Force since the announcement, not just the SNCOs. Are we in danger of meltdown, and as a consequence, could others be offered extention of service in order to cover the mass exodus?
Anyone else heard such stories?
