Vlad,
I maybe mis-stated the promotion thing. I should have made clear I was referring to the pre-banding state of affairs - an ATCO 3 (operational) Posted to an ATCO 2 (operational) post. We were told quite categorically that it did not qualify as a promotion. That has obviously changed.
TAD - can't remember the last time I did an operational AAVA and I am unlikely to do any more. However, for now I doubt there will be little difficulty getting others to do them. (Check PM's)
