More than happy with knowing who the fighting element of the RAF is and who actually fulfils that role (rank wise)! Not the point ....
The point I was loosely making was that throughout this thread there has been a constant reference that jobs/decisions that used to be made by a flt lt/sgn ldr are now being made by gp capt/1*. That, to me, is rank creep. It seems to me that the same could be said amongst our WO/SNCO/JNCO cadre as well - upping the 'responsibility' level to keep jobs for the boys?
PS - if we're going cpl pilots does that mean we will have SAC (non-FJ) WSOs?
