can anybody enlighten me to the possible reasons why clinically obese aircrew
Twice now you've given us that diagnosis. I didn't realise that service medical care had been reduced because medical diagnoses could be obtained from some bloke in an aircrew feeder. Clinician are you? How about you leave it to Doctors to decide who is "clinically" anything?

The service can ill-afford to lose any experience these days. Squadrons of complex aircraft wholly manned by inexperienced people will become a far bigger safety threat to everyone when the guidance and wisdom of a few older but less 'gym-fit' hands is removed by the health and fitness Hitler Youth. This applies equally to air and ground crew. I predict that in future the RAF will have younger, fitter and more Army-like force that cannot achieve as much from it's older ac - because much of the experience has left amid the ever increasing BS driven by policies that are red herrings.
