Sir Red,
Spot on ! The poor RNZAF have had their arse's taken from underneath them and now the brass decide to really sort out the morale problem by doing this.
Apparently that juice that the PM is on is being used more widely now and more people are losing their brains and making great decisions.
Maybe a "little talk" discussing public sensitivities would be more than sufficient rather than grounding an experienced driver with, I would gather, no ROSO.
Good work team.....................not
