Devil Waste of Money in RAF

Some terms and Ranks used in Flying Units of the RAF:

Flight Commander (ie one in charge of a flight) = Squadron Leader (Not Flt Lt)
Squadron Commander (ie Officer in charge of a sqn) = Wing Commander (Not Sqn Ldr)
Wing Commander (person i/c 3-4 Sqns)= Group Captain (Not Wg Cdr)
Group Captain (bod ic 3/4 groups) = Air Commodore (not Gp Capt)

etc etc.

So there we have it. An AAC Sgt Pilot far better value/£.

As the RAF always supports either the Navy or the Army, how about giving the Mudmovers to the grunts and the pursuit ships to the fisheads. Meanwhile Mr Branson can have the AAR and AT fleet.

Mr Lockheed can have the C130J back.
