CR,
I don't think I've ever read a poor post from you. You surely are the Dandy Cock 'o' Pprune Towers.
Actually, I've never really been away and have endeavoured to keep an eye on the forum as best I can.
I entirely agree with your remarks on the way the AAC manages it's officer aircrew (and indeed NCO aircrew) and ultimately this will be the reason I leave. Shame really.
Anyway, I'm a bit pre-occupied at the moment but I will reply in full later. You seem to know who I am and would therefore understand why my full reply will arrive in a few hours.
I would still be interested in hearing what anyone else has got to say in relation to my query. Is there anyone else out there in a similar situation? I know of at least one. In particular, to our 'friends' in the corridors of power. What are you prepared to do to retain my cohorts and I? Here’s a chance to explain yourselves.
