They may not need to in future, as " The rank of lance corporal (LCpl) is to be introduced to the Gunner trade in Apr 10 to identify the critical leadership role undertaken by nominated and experienced Gunners on RAF Regt front-line units........ RAF Regt LCpls will be paid as for LCpls in the British Army and Royal Marines. On promotion to LCpl, all SACs will receive a pay rise ..... RAF Regt LCpls will be paid on the lower pay band."

So the RAF get rid of JT rank for the techies, and then create a LCpl rank for the Rocks, thankfully " LCpls will not have the power to bring formal charges against subordinate ranks"
