Many people see the RAF more as a vocation than a job and have accepted a lot of things they wouldn't put up with in civvy street.
We are used to the highs and lows but it now seems to be all lows and no highs and our tolerance is running out.
All the RAF has been effected but TG1/2 more than others. The hoops we jump through and the responsibility that comes with it aren't echoed by other trades that were given a 5K pay rise to receive the same pay.
I think you need to accept that the RAF does not revolve entirely around TG1/2. There are many other trades who have responsibilities akin to yours, you just have no sight or knowledge of it. It is pure ignorance to suggest otherwise.
