Uncle G,
I honestly don't expect any acknowledgement from those responsible, as to do so would likely admit irresponsibility in respect of the whole redundancy, training pipeline closure (such as WSO) situations we've seen in the recent past. I do hope that the RAF (and FAA/AAC) have a plan for when AFPS 75/05 becomes AFPS 15 in Apr 15 and a large proportion either perceive or know that it would be better to leave.
If I was recruiting for a major airline or aviation company, that date would be seared into my mind....
