I thought times were hard but!!

Wondering around the Ski Show at Olympia last week with an ATC Mate, we came across the RAF Recruiting Stand that was manned --- get this by staff from a recruiting agency, there were 6 of them (who looked like they were on work experience) backed up by a JNCO who was there to answer any questions on our great service..

Wonder what those guys know about the pressures that we are under at the moment?

I could imagine them getting snowed under with a veritable avalanche of applications.

Oh dear - it all appears to be heading downhill rapidly.
