Isk Decline

It saddens me to read of the decline going on at Kinloss but is it as bad as most of the contributors to this thread suggest?
The fleet has gone through previous ups and downs and i would hope that the lineys and aircrew can soldier on until things improve. Dont go relying on the airships to improve things, its down to wg cdrs to hold things together.
As for flying P3, the US Navy is having trouble keeping them airborne and when they are, they are not really in the same league as a MR2 with the exception of their TV/IR capability. 51 sqn cant open the bomb bay and wouldnt know what to do if they did. The MR4 will be very good, if it arrives, hopefully the fleet can hang on in there that long.
I saw the writing on the wall 18 months ago and havent regreted jumping ship after 31 years on the fleet - dont miss it one little bit but was lucky enough to visit ISK last week and say hello to some old friends, its the people who are important, not the establishment.
