Jeezus! Can't a guy have a good rant once in a while? OK, p'haps a little OTT, but the fact remains that it is way way out of the reach of most new aviators today. Unreachable goals do not make great incentives, and perhaps a more stepped approach (ppl, cpl, atpl pehaps?) might have been better.
Sure I signed on the dotted line and nothing was promised when I did, but the fact remains that the AAC needs us more than we need them, its a volunteer organisation and they have to try and retain us because last time I looked I wasn't a charity organisation!
And Helmut et al, you come and shine your arse at my desk for a bit and see how egalitarian about the corps you are then! (Yes I know its my fault for being an officer)
I wouldn't need retention to do your job!
rant rant rant.
And army 427, its precisely because I'm not doing the business like "in your day" that I'm bitching about!
aaaarrrggghhh!
Anyway, have a nice day you guys.
