This is government code for ....... Thank's Pilots, now piss off!
Looks as if government are chopping the RAF to a certain slow painful death!
"Up to 20 fast jet pilots, 30 helicopter pilots and 50 transport aircraft pilots are said to face the axe."
Well, It'll take decades at that rate.
"UP to". I wonder - as in made up? Not pilots, recruits. When we've just taken an a/c out of service rather rapidly, sounds like adjusting the numbers to suit. Helo and tpt sound like tosh to me. But then it's probably all tosh.
Err ... 25% redundant are the words being used by the BBC.This is government code for ....... Thank's Pilots, now piss off!

Or is it you that has calculated that 100 British Pilots = 25% of the total strength that Britain now has ??

True. But they are talking about recruits, who are not yet pilots. Willling to stand corrected and assure you that no calculation is involved. Just semantics.
