Gasfitter and BP you make good points, but I will ask Gasfitter;
If historically all those still in/recently left the service who are/have been highlighting all these problems to their management (who patently do not pass them upwards) and get threatened (promotion, posting etc) or ignored as morale and loss of life continues due to lack of commitment/resources/interest from those at the top, could you please enlighten us all on what those 'better ways of doing this' are that you elude to, or is the forum not the place that you can detail the right way in which the current members should get their concerns aired and possibly sorted.
