I've been lurking for a while, so now its time to finally stick my head over the parapet.
I went to PMA as an observer on a board last year, and all the boards had Flt Lt presidents, so the DVD must be out of date/inaccurate. As for the prom board being discussed, I know who the Trade Spec was and I'm sure I have met the president, who was a Flt Lt. The trade Spec has spent as much time working in the IM field as he has working on legacy kit. He has spent more time in comcens than most of you have been in the RAF - he even got invited to the Tg11 reunion a few years ago and I heard that he has recently done the combat custodian course. At least they put someone in who trade knowledge on both sides of the fence for the first combined board. As for the immature comment about clouded judgement, from what I've seen there are 3 people on a board who all discuss the merits of each candidate. Any bias would have been picked up by the president or 3rd member.
