Christopher Robin and Whipping Boy's SATCO,
Your comments show you have completely misunderstood the point of my post. This is not a prima donna issue, simply one of common sense. If you had spent 4 million quid training someone to fly aeroplanes, why then waste that valuable asset on fireman duty. I can't put it any simpler for you. An RLC driver probably doesn't need 3 years training. The fact that the war is almost over must mean that there are personnel available who would be more appropriate for these duties - reservists perhaps. Must dash - I have a plane to fly and a war to win!
