If you phone the trade sponsors, they will tell you what Qs or if your current post carries any weight. I know the courses that i've carried out for my new job since i left Kinloiss carry no weight what so ever after phoning the trade sponsors and my Nimrod Qs certainly don't carry any weight. Wrong place, wrong time, C'est la vie.

What has the post that you are currently in got to do with it?
If someone has years of experience on a platform that doesn't exist anymore and someone has tons of experience on a more modern platform that is the pride and joy of the airforce, the ressettlement board's decision will be leaning towards keeping the latter person.

Trade requirements aimed at achieving structural balance form a very small part of the RSB criteria and, independent of other considerations, is unlikely to have made much difference to the redundancy list, e.g., in 2005 more than a few newly-converted Typhoon techies were made redundant. I remember OC XI being apopleptic (my word of the day!) at the thought that the 'cream of the Air Force' (his words at the time) would even apply for redundancy but there were even a few non-applicants among those who went. We have such little control over the post we happen to be filling that to determine redundancies in that manner would simply not be appropriate.

Trade and aircraft requirements are only part of it. MRa4 GE's were allowed to apply for redundancy. MR2 GE's were'nt as they were already qualified in all trades and could do reds/greens.....
The fact they've got no aircraft to work on and are all being posted to places they don't want to go to doesn't matter!
There's going to be alot of grief on thursday, those who applied and were turned down and those who are being booted out after a committee meeting. Good luck one all for whatever you want

I understand your perspective on the redundancy process, but i still believe even though trade requirements form a very small part of the RSB criteria, it's still a part none the less. Although, and I agree it would be inappropriate to select someone for redundancy based partly on trade requirements, it doesn't necessarily mean this wont happen under the guise of some other "chosen reason".
No release time was sent out from the RFP, we just require it to be done as early as possible on the 1st
Can we have some Call of duty release day style, midnight opening of HR?

Was told by the floppy sausage today everyone is to be in Thursday morning (we're working across the two southern secret AT bases at the moment) and that the Sengess will be dispensing any envelopes that need to be dished out, though (apparantly) they know no names at present.
Come on Thursday!
Come on Thursday!

There was only one fully qualified MRA4 GE, but as I remember hadn't had his Reds and Greens signed of for the MRA4. The MR2 decision was quite wierd as even though you have Red and Greens they do not transfer to a different type.

Apparently those just about to go OOA are exempt. What is the time limit on just about to go OOA? Not interested myself, asking for someone else. And no I haven't read the DIN because I'm not eligible

It's 6 months prior to an Op that attracts the Op bonus! That should discount quite a few more!
