Only 46 new Wg Cdr's, how are we going to cope, and as for Sqn Ldr promotions, well i think the integrity of the RAF is in serious danger.
Here are a list of Sqns from 2009 with Wg Cdr Bosses:
1 Sqn
II (AC) Sqn
3 Sqn
4 Sqn
5 (AC) Sqn
8 Sqn
9 Sqn
11 Sqn
12 Sqn
13 Sqn
14 Sqn
18 Sqn
22 Sqn
24 Sqn
27 Sqn
28 Sqn
30 Sqn
31 Sqn
32 (The Royal) Sqn
33 Sqn
39 Sqn
43 Sqn
47 Sqn
51 Sqn
70 Sqn
78 Sqn
99 Sqn
100 Sqn
101 Sqn
111 Sqn
120 Sqn
201 Sqn
202 Sqn
216 Sqn
230 Sqn
617 Sqn
That's 36 Wg Cdrs without counting OC Ops Wg and the 22Gp CFIs and Sqn Cdrs. Therefore, 46 per year would just about provide enough for the standing commitments for command with 1yr in staff college, an 18mth SO1 staff tour and an OCU/refresher (that is before SDR 2010 hits!).
