Some people are bugging out, many are staying. Morale is low for some and not for others. Amongst the knockers I don't think many have pvr'd (low single figures) but I think more people are thinking hard about what to do at their IP points. Lots of pilots are jumping ship all over the RAF to attractive packages with the airlines as for many the career options that perhaps they joined up with are shrinking as the RAF comes down in numbers, squadrons and aircraft. Eng's are an odd lot as we've stopped training them but not stopped needing them...The location of ISK for some eng's that have been asked to go from southern bases to up north has been a factor...And what can the posters do if the option of waiting for the training system to spit out some more has been disbanded? ans: keep trying to post more until one sticks.
From a personal point of view I don't connect morale with motivation as the fleet is still attempting it's tasking with the level of professionalism people expect of the maritime force... To be honest if the motivation wasn't there you perhaps wouldn't climb up the steps.
