I had to sit thru an EO day at a secret Lincs trg base recently ...
We all had keypads and had to answer Qs pesented on screen. The presenter asked a question,
Q5. What is the highest female ranking officer in the RAF?
a. AM b. AVM c. AC d. Gp Capt
He then told us the answer (for those of us that didn't know),
A. I recall it was Gp Capt (as the Air Cdre was retiring).
... and subsequently twisted the next question's result.
Q6. How long before we see a female officer become CAS?
a. Never b. At least 25 yrs c. Within 10 yrs d. Within 5yrs
Obviously, given timescales of the aforementioned newly promoted Gp Capt, answers c & d were out, meaning that we all answered b or a.
Interpretation: over 90% of RAF personnel believe it will be at least 25 yrs
before the service is led by a woman.
It's all about what you ask and how you leave the question open for interpretation. Sometimes, the answer is irrelevant.
