If the fitness test is to become twice yearly, it will achieve two things. Firstly it will provide yet another distraction from our core task, which I always understood to be flying and the support of flying. Secondly it will confirm that those in big offices, far removed from the real air force where aircraft cry out for engineers, have forgotten what we are actually here to do. While fundamental issues go unresolved they are choosing to distract themselves with things like half-hearted fitness policies that will ultimately do more to remind people of the fcuk around factor than they will ever impact on personal fitness.

As an example, you're just as likely to see a K line engineer at work during a weekend as a PTI. How dare they tell me it's warfighter first when our core product sits around waiting for repair.
