You seem to be quite bitter about the RAF glojo.
Anyway, the MoD is in the driving seat with the Treasury holding the fuel card and the map. The RAF do not have the ability to make the decisions you imply and attribute to the air marshal.
The system is open to criticism but you have to know roughly what the system is before you go on a tirade.
Others will pick apart your observations but I would start with the thought of the E2D; I ask when did it ever feature on our plans and just how would we pay for it?
