Re-introduction of Commissioning opportunities for NCA

[Gnd]

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?

I do not think some over pompous RAF minion will have much sway over a bureaucratic, penny pinching bean counter. Do not think we are anything less than a pain and money swallowing organisation to them. Tradition and personal opinion will be very low on their reasons to keep things the way they are – lean proved that our opinion meant nothing!!!

Just don’t get to sad when you sit in the air with a very capable NCO – he will still be in charge if the auth sheet says so.
