I don't know any aircrew who have had the fear of a Friday morning after hearing the lads got into a 'bit of bother' down town on Thursday night - or that had to deal with the aftermath of a Sqn beercall that went a bit wrong. This is a part of why I see such libertarian views from the aircrew on this thread.
Nothing like a bit of generalization to raise the stakes is there?! 'Generally' based on who and where?
It may surprise you to know that quite a few of us 'aircrew' are responsible for junior ranks annual assessments and career development these days.
You either haven't been near a Sqn for some time or you are dangling your ever baited hook again?
