Sorry if that last post sounded 'pompous' and 'jumped up', it certainly wasn't meant to. For information I am not the PMC/Senior Student, but i've just re-read the post, and I didn't think it was quite bad enough to deserve a proper slagging. . .I have never claimed to have an exhaustive knowledge of the RAF, especially not the bits I'm not involved with, but just because I'm not on a squadron yet doesn't mean that I (or any other UAS/JEFTS bods) don't have a single good idea or worthwhile opinion in our heads. I didn't mean to offend anyone, just trying to voice my opinions in a vaguely humourous manner. . .Oooops. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="frown.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="confused.gif" />. . . . <small>[ 08 March 2002, 11:15: Message edited by: Jump jump John ]</small>
Since you specifically 'fished for me' I'll open my gob again, though others have more to contribute and have already expressed it much better.. .. .I'm theoretically in favour of jointery in some limited areas, but only when its requirement-driven, and not for the sake of penny pinching. There are arguments for jointery in these limited areas (does the RAF accord enough priority to SH? does the Army mis-use the AAC? etc. etc.) and there may be advantage in making air power providers more accountable to (But NOT owned by) the end customer.. .. .Wider amalgamations have a very poor track record, and can have a serious effect on morale, esprit de corps etc. (Eg Canada).

Magic man. .. .Noticed this just before my visit to happy hour. It is hardly my intention to get people to jump ship - quite the opposite in fact. I strive to make the RAF a better place; my section is highly motivated with extremely high morale. . .I always look for better ways to complete tasks . .and this jointery issue is one that I feel needs adressing; we can all mutually benefit from the other services' particular skills. This is an attempt to make the services a better product. I wouldn't expect you, or other pilots, to fully appreciate the complex fiscal world however I assure you that budgets drive all of our tasks. Without the funding, nothing can be done. By using the money we have more effectively, we can do more tasks, to a better standard.. .. .By improving effectiveness and morale, how can I possibly be causing people to 'jump ship'? I would like to see some evidence of this. I will not sink to your level and call you a tw@t.. .I will look at this Forum in closer detail after happy hour - I know purple issues will probably come up in conversation.
