"The problem with the current promotion system, even after all the tinkering, is that if you one of the breed who makes up for a lack of ability with doing all the bosses pet projects and odd jobs then you will probably get promoted"
Sounds like the talk of dead wood NCA who is bitter and twisted and will never make the cut to be a FS and that is coming from an above average NCA FS who doesn't do pet projects and odd jobs and is professional as a SNCO and in his role as NC Aircrew.
Heads down for in coming !!
