Thanks Ratty for telling me about the Plans Branch Which is no more (Now under COS SPP) and only has at best, 2 Air Cdres) but my question still remains What is the Policy Branch as a Career stream that is allowed 12 newly promoted one stars?
Also for discussions sake ! the ratio of this years list is (and I accept the odd one or two out due to time of posting, together with a large amount of approximation)
12 Gp Capt to Air Cdre
28 Wg Cdr to Gp Capt
92 Sqn Ldr to Wg Cdr
181 Flt Lt to Sqn Ldr
So I reckon that the hardest jump is Wg Cdr to Gp Capt (ie approx 30% success rate, whereas all other jumps are approx 50 %) Also a Sqn Leader has a 1 in 6 chance of making it to Gp Capt.
Thoughts???
