The best thing about experience, Exrigger, is that we all learn from it. There is understandable confusion when there are so many officers without an officers job to do. I don't wish to go off thread by turning this into a officers versus NCO aircrew discussion but giving nearly all aircrew a commission is the root of the problem.
I have learned that to change anything you first have to find someone who can change it and then convince them to do it. In the RAF the first part of the problem is the most difficult.
