May I say that Winco and the rest of the whingers on this site do NOT represent the views of the majority of the members of the RAF or at least the people I work with. I have been in for a while now and the only place that I consistently read or hear of complaints concerning the current CAS is on PPrune. He is certainly not a major topic of conversation in my crewroom. These complaints seem to come from the same individuals all the time. I also find it intriguing that some individuals who have long left the Service know so much about how he does his job. May I ask a couple of questions of those who question CAS' ability to do the job along with his integrity?
When did you last speak to him face to face?
Have you ever asked him directly to do anything for you?
If so, what response did you get?
When was the last time you sat in on a meeting between CAS and any member of the government so that you can say with some conviction that he just rolls over and does the politicos bidding?
How many of you have been awarded the DSO?
