Do you not think that chopping the top of the pyramid would leave a massive void of experience and leadership?
It seems to me that the aim is to slice the side off the pyramid. Today a third of the trainees have gone - on 1 Mar 11 we may see a third of the first tourists out and a third of the old lags (although my trade is overmanned by more than a third so I'm expecting it to be worse)
The RAF has not disposed of all of its new pilots, just the 30% we have no seats for.
A sad day nonetheless
