Congratulations Heliaviator on your success, and as has already been said how depressing that it should come to this. Your comment earlier was well made:
Perhaps the flight safety and human factors chaps at Bentley Priory may wish to join the fray?
From someone who served in the 60s/70s, leaving in 73, this situation seems more applicable to some third world nation rather than this (and yes I realise that they may well be called one and the same now). From this and similar threads there emerges an RAF that has little administrative resemblance to the one of three decades ago. This was the bread and butter of subordinate commanders. Money, Mail, Meals was the mantra. Woe betide any boss who dragged his heels if any one of them required attending to. It seems to me that until the Powers of a Subordinate Commander are reinstated to what they used to be the problems such as housing, messing, pay etc will not be resolved, with the effects implicit in the quote above. Anyone remember the Flight Safety film "Frustration"? It culminated in a Javelin ditching, after a series of jobsworths ensure that the crew end up unfit for purpose. The point of course was that Flight Safety concerns all, including JPA. But Flight Safety would appear to be yet another casualty of the many initiatives taken by the beancounters! Time to return to the old and trusted values and throw out the quangos which are strangling the very formations they were supposed to serve!
