Given that the aim of the Labour party when in government was that 50% of all youths would go on to earn degrees, and that currently only 50% of children leave school with 5 GCSEs at grade C or above, one could argue that all having achieved a degree these days proves is that you have got 5 or more good GCSEs....!!
Can I take it from comments on this and other threads, that the concept that WSOps were all of one trade, merely undertaking specific role training to be a crewman, FW loadmaster, etc, has been in practice kicked into touch - even if it has not been formally recognised/announced as such.
For example, generally speaking it wasn't WSOps across the board that were made redundant, it was AEOps without an aircraft to fly....
