Can Wigston survive the onslaught?
Says it all really. Wokeston, you have simply been the worst CAS ever. You should have done the decent thing and resigned last summer. Look below what YOU have done to the RAF from the AFCAS 2023 results.
Thank God we have Sir Rich coming. I have so much hope that he will reverse and re-boot some of the awful things that you and your naked 3-star did. At least Sir Rich is starting at rock bottom; it can’t get any worse from this point onwards!

18% confidence in Service leadership, 7% morale and despite the EDI focus only 57%, down from 72% Just wow!

Already on RDP - gone this summer. Just trying to work out who replaces her. It better not be the 1-star who worked for her who also had her fingerprints all over this discrimination scandal. That would be bad.
No. It took a long time in the Great War, and then part of the cull was a natural death. Also Smith-Dorrien was sacked unjustifiably for saving II Corps [and ultimately the army].

Hopefully no companies decide to take him on considering how in such a short time he has managed to bring the Service to its knees.
Just let’s hope a lot more are shuffled off the board. Shame the new CAS couldn’t bring back that Group Captain that resigned, at least they showed a backbone and some moral fibre.

Re 467. In February 2023, the Daily Mail was reporting that Group Captain Lizzie Nicholl was considering legal action against the RAF (constructive dismissal?). Such a case would expose all of the evidence and demonstrate why the former CAS and his (still serving) dentist (aka "Head of Personnel") were completely deluded in their directives to the recruiting and selection people.

“Perhaps because we are so good at organizing, we tend as a nation to meet any new situation by reorganizing; and what a wonderful method it can be for creating the illusion of progress while producing confusion, inefficiency and demoralization.”

Re 474. No - if she can demonstrate that she had no course open to her other than resign, she can sue for constructive dismissal. I do not know whether or not she has a good enough case. I hope she has.
Snapper, one has to quit rather than be fired - and quit fairly promptly - to be eligible for constructive dismissal.

Constructive dismissal is when you’re forced to leave your job against your will because of your employer’s conduct.
You should try and sort any issues out by speaking to your employer to solve the dispute.
If you do have a case for constructive dismissal, you should leave your job immediately - your employer may argue that, by staying, you accepted the conduct or treatment.

Sir Rich took command on Friday and the ASC and DCAS change was on the Monday. That would be some of the fastest staff work ever, if it was!

I suspect this was a legacy change and a part of the hair-brained new Air Command Operating Model (ACOM) that is Wiggy’s and Turner’s legacy, where we see 2 Gp Capts on a main station instead of one. How’s that for progress?
