There still seems to be a strange void between most of the complainers here and those they perceive as "the powers that be". To see criticism of "the Squirearchy" in a post that concedes the value of the old Harrier Force is particularly odd. In those heady RAFG days in 75, the head of the Squirearchy was a flight commander on 3(F), living in a tent like the rest of the pilots. If that wasn't enough to teach him the value of seeking home comforts for the troops, read about how he got his DFC; living in a tin box that is the prime target for revenge when you're not out getting shot at from the ground also teaches the value of adequate rest facilities.
And if you think the staff officers at Group aren't doing the business, tell PMA you want to swap places. Let the desk officers suffer some hardship, while you show your mates how to get it sorted. The reason operators are put in those staff positions is just so that these things can be dealt with by someone who understands.
