Some of the jobs being offered are low-grade desk jobs. They deserve better than that.’
Why do they "deserve" better than a "low grade desk job"?
They are naval officers - they knew when they joined up that they would have to carry out the full range of duties of a naval officer during their careers. They have been offered a good job elsewhere in the RN - they should think themselves fortunate.
In any case, I would think that those who have done previous rotary wing flying could probably continue their flying careers elsewhere.
