Rumour has it (well this is PPRuNe after all) that some Career Stream WSO Sqn Ldrs with 'specialist' skillsets (eg ASQ) who have had all previous requests to go PAS turned down flat, are now being offered the chance to transfer to PAS.
Not only that, under the NEM (New Employment Model) they are also being offered the chance to serve to age 60.
First off, I assume that this is conclusive proof that Manning has failed miserably to keep control of their 'levers'.
Secondly, wtf were the likes of me that had the same 'specialist' skillset made redundant last year!
