No Idea

Clearly all the post refering to the FOTC and Flight Operations Branch have absolutely no idea what the branch actually does. The Branch itself is extremely well thought of and carry out there duties despite the lack of

a. Understanding of their role.
b. Respect of their role.
c. Lack of full commitment to the role from other branches.
d. Lack of effective branch sponsor

The Flight Ops Branch originally staffed by ex aircrew who could no longer fly for various reasons or Officers from other branches looking for fast track promotion in the fledgling new branch have now been replaced by well trained and generally extremly competant compliment of officers.

Furthermore they support the white winged master race wherever they may operate be it in the UK or on deployment. Many deploy every 2 years to help maintain the current level of offensive operations. Mostly working extremly long hours without the limitations of Crew Duty etc. They often work long before and after our aircrew brethren have hit the bar or comfort of their accommodation and generally get little thanks from all for a job well done in sometime difficult circumstance.

Rant over. Instead of offering ill informed banter on the forum why not try and stick to the thread in the first place?
