I would agree with Twiggs (shock horror), that if anyone is to lose their jobs, it should be the overseas bases before any on shore bases(and with no disrepect to those crew, I believe this is the sentimment being expressed?), regardless of FAAA membership numbers in a particular base(I am a member, always have been).
As I said in another thread, even though the Mel base may be considered 'vulnerable', the FAAA (this week) say there are no plans to close it just yet. On the other hand the BKK base closure was rumoured for some time. I guess time will tell, as cost is always the driving factor.....I am well aware anything can happen at short notice (been here a while...
)
Let us hope, as I just said, that as many jobs as possible can be preserved, especially mine
hehe
