RAF Officer sacked from post

[storl tern]

blunties can take months to staff an Establishment Variation Form

So, unit X requires a new post. Is it justified? Is the amount of working hours there and presented in the case? OK, it looks justified. Are there any establishment surpluses elsewhere? If there are what are the effects on the losing unit (should be nil but you have to check)? If there are no surpluses then what is the effect on the training schedule? Are there any graduates from training available within the time scale required? What is the knock-on effect on the recruiting process? Right, that's that lot sorted.

Now let's have a look at the receiving unit.

Does the additional post cause an increase in the supervisory positions? What effect on accommodation? Messing? MT requirements and the host of other things that support manpower on any unit. If there are then return to start point and work out the effects.

And then.....Bingo.... your 6 months are up.

Your cunning plan mutty for getting that particular problem sorted out in double quick time would be warmly welcomed by those whose job it is to solve all those problems.

Still, I don't suppose they'll be waiting expectantly.

Surely "accommodation? Messing? MT requirements and the host of other things that support manpower on any unit." are the responsibility of the receiving unit, not the person authorising the change in establishment? Also,in the case mutty quotes there was no change in numbers, and therefore presumably no such complications......



Just asking out of curiosity, not interested in participating in, or continuing, any aircrew vs bluntie "debate"!
