and believe me they are possibly at their most desperate moment ever
IMHO there is no 'possibly' about it. We are in deep doodah and there is no sign of it getting better.
The last 12 months has seen an absolute gazzilion trainees making it to final field training. NOT!
If we`re not currently short staffed heaven help us when we are as the rumours of groups/towers/app units looking for staff grows daily. Most areas are now that short that nobody can be released, even if they have won a position elsewhere. We are talking years to get out of this mess provided we can source sufficient trainess or, if the whispers are correct, more global recruits.
Time for some dusty headsets to be put into action!
