What Fergineer has said has hit the nail on the head. This isn't a "Kinloss Problem" - this is a problem that all WSOps wiil have to confront over the next few years, particularly the EW/Aco specialities. I am not saying that a RW crewman will lose his job in favour of a bloke from Kinloss (although if you have a poor F5200 it could be a possibility), but just because you have a comfortable job on E3 or Reaper, for example, does not make you immune from the axe. As for all the blah about wife/kids/job/mortgage/cat stability, get real - you can, and should reasonably expect, to be moved whenever they like if you want a full Service career. It's only the efforts of the Manning Desk that have allowed most people the stability that many aspire to.
