Despite the numerous bites etc...

Can you honestly see the RAF doing away with most of its Officer Aircrew?

I think not - aptitude is one thing. Do you think the purple-blooded Air Officers would want 'enlisted chaps' flying their new shiny jets/helos etc?

think he works south side where I am and unless I am mistaken there is a chap over there, surname is the same as Sherlock Holmes side kick, who was a Sgt ALM and now happily drives Albert round the sky and with the impending demise of his current steed will no doubt be off to "A400M/FSTA/C17 etc"
Almost correct - I do know the bloke you're talking about above and unless I'm mistaken he's just taken promotion to Sqn Ldr - wouldn't have done that if he was a SNCO pilot!

Why did he get a commission then? Was he not happy being a Sgt?
