Ground Tours
You only have to look at some of the leadership by likership of some in the SH force who have been promoted with a short OOA before returning to the fleet to realise that a 2 year ground tour benefits the individual in broadening and widening ones outlook. The ones that go on a ground tour stand out a mile above their peers.
You pay your money and take your chance, after all there are more desks than aircraft these days.......enjoy the break from the crewroom and actually see how the Air Farce is run.
Shame that the desk officers cant seem to get the manning deficit under control and the 'Pilot Indiced Oscillations' of manning the aircrew desks will continue unabated until they put someone in there who is less cavalier and doesnt have a 2 years and its over mentality.
