Don't get me started on the Air Officer thing
.
Am not really bothered whether they stay or go just can't see why were getting so excited about it when their is far more too worry about in this shambles of an Airforce.
Have in the past enjoyed the displays thet they put on and they probably are the best in the world but to me they are still a luxury that in times of conflict aren't really a priority.
We have critical shortages in manpower in certain areas which mean that others have to spend increased times away on ops away from their families at increased levels of risk.
Yes of course they have all probably done ops recently (ish) but that isn't the point in this case, they aren't being gainfully employed supporting ops or training their replacements on the front line or even doing some related admin job.
My main argument is that if this tinpot Government is going to strip us of lots of other benefits,financial as well as professional and logistical then really why are we so bothered about a flying club for posers?
