Echo 5 & Blakey875
Not sure I know of any ALMs who have requested the move away from catering duties to become a stacker. Unless you know differently?
I spent a number of years in the RAF AT world and have had the pleasure of dealing with both movements and 47AD staff loading aircraft in strat and tac roles. However, although I have friends in both camps I know if I had to choose which one I would have. The number of errors that occur from the former outnumbers the errors from the latter by a massive margin. However, the thing that always concerned me was the 'not us culture' that arose when an error was apparent. As ex-RAF that is somewhat sad but a reality.
