Lead
I see that word "entitled" again
I am not saying you (or the others) are wrong, in fact I can well see merit in what you say / want. I am ex mil and know full well what attitude we have / had, especially if you are part of the "sacred cows" !
I am trying to suggest what you need to consider in what you are trying to achieve which is effectively sell something to the RAAF that they don't seem to want.
So, I'll say it again, "Find a way for the RAAF to maintain control, not lose face or power and not hinder training but allow what you want - and that giving an inch won't be taken a mile" and you might actually get somewhere.
