Something that occurs to me around staffing. If there are less centres that may have full time staff - where are they coming from ??
Currently there are approx 25 VGS plus 1 suspended (617) - on average 30 staff each = 750 staff
If you Full Time this it could reduce to 300 maybe ??. Currently the RAF has a pilot shortage, the AEF/UAS struggle to fill posts - so where will the staff come from ? (even FTRS would be a struggle)
Any thoughts anyone ?
