MGD,
I don't take it personally - I've not been offended by your posts, neither do I think you are talking complete bs, but I do suspect that you've encountered somebody who's given you an undeservedly biased view of the whole group. Yes, some guys probably wouldn't fit in were they re-roled as crewmen, but I think there's a fair chance that many would given the opportunity to do so.
In fact I can think of a number of roles that WSOps could be moved into - the problem is that with the RAF contracting it's unlikely that the slots are there to do this... I do think that the RAF should forget about recruiting for a few years and reabsorb as many people as possible, from any trade under threat - not just aircrew.
If I were still in, I'd be looking very hard right now at ways to make a living outside...but I already made that decision 11 years ago....

As I have said before, I would be a crap wet/dry man so dont take this personally.
