Yes the IAF can seem to be a bit top heavy on the rank front but that is because they operate a 'time' promotion system which may be likely to change in the near future. That's what some of the IAF told me during a very pleasant cocktail party during Indra Dhanush 06 anyway?
However, they
are a very professional bunch who are extremely proud of their Air Force and platform capabilities so lets not knock them on this thread before they have even arrived!
I for one have a great deal of enthusiasm for the next couple of weeks and with luck I may even get to be 'in the office' when the serials are taking place.
Welcome to the IAF and I hope you enjoy OUR hospitality the way we enjoyed yours last October!
