Hmm well lets say I won't be holding my breath for any RFIs anytime soon.
Having had a look on the RAF Careers website in the job search section, going to the officer job search, every single job listed there is annotated as 'urgently needed'. What are the odds on all the various officer jobs getting an RFI then? I think the phrase is "you have 2 hopes ......" But if all the branches are in the same parlous state, who and how would they decide which branches got the FRIs (aircrew aside)? Would they offer them on a sliding scale for different branches?
Unfortunately I think we are getting to the stage that what ever RFI is offered will only be a short term solution. An awful lot of people I know have said that the MOD couldn't afford the level of RFI that would be required to keep them in. As for me, if it's offered (unlikely) I'll take it - after all they have me by the pension short and curlies, so why not take free money?
