If what you say is true wokka, and I have no reason to doubt you, there will be f*ckin murders. Whilst never surprised at what our lordships do to us this will be the ultimate kick in the nads

Guys who went off to become Navs/FC etc are now poised to return as commissioned crewman

Not entirely sure to be perfectly honest. Thats a problem for the desk officer, who is in a pretty lose/lose situation as far as wokka manning is concerned. All the guys I can think of are extremely competent on the wokka and I would be happy to see them back, especially at a time where the 'harmony' guidelines are at full deflection.
As for the younger guys, yeah I can see them being a trifle concerned. At the end of the day, we have asked PMA33c to put bums on seats, and thats what he is doing.

I heard it from CAS himself, that there will be 2 'Branch' ALM slots available this year but the question is who will take them up. The candidates who are all in the frame for the positions will most likely have already taken the offer of PA as it was clearly stated that commission opportunities has ceased unless you wanted the side step of 'Ops Support'. As part of the contract for accepting PA, you had to sign to say that you would not apply for a commission ! So where do we stand now ? If it is possible to keep the PA terms aswell as excepting Branch then its a done deal but some clarification is required.

Christ on a bike. What's level 9 mean? I presume we're not paying 26-year-old Hercules pilots forty grand a year?
Level of tolerance for military whining decreasing, decreasing...

Level 9 Flt Lt means 9 years at that rank. For a graduate that would mean 11yrs served (2 as Fg Off first), for a non-grad it would be 15 years (2 as Plt Off, 4 as Fg Off). So no, we're not paying 26 y-o Herc pilots that. And besides, it's still well below the public sector.
Is that OK? We wouldn't want your tolerance towards us waining now, would we?

I think with flying pay added you're paying him/her considerably more than that. Probably less than a london tube driver though.
