And here we have a perfect example of why the forces are crumbling. The politicians must be absolutly loving the way all 3 services bitch,moan and infight about petty issues, trying to score cheap points, and fighting to keep capability by claiming the other services don't need x..
The defence review handled itself, watching the "top brasses" falling over each other to try and belittle & degrade the other was exactly what the government wanted. They are playing you off against each other, watching you pull yourselves down to the lowest common denominator!!
If you are too stupid to see WHY the crew should get a decent standard of accomodation, I suggest you do a bit of reading about fatigue & air law.
On the other point, perhaps if the forces recognised & respected each other & showed some co-operation & solidarity, we might not be in the mess we are now. Glad I'm out in 6 weeks, it's getting embarrasing now
