I have just been informed by one of my FTs that they won't be on their course next year as they were recently informed. Instead, due to a marked increase in JO recruitment, all Fast Trackers will have their courses suspended until at least 2011 to allow throughput of DE and JO applications.
Confirmation has been received from WO TG9 that this is infact the case.
The cynic in me can quite believe that this decision has been made. However, the fact that our DSATCO was only told 'accidentaly' and that no plans had been made to officially announce this is a bit off.
It also appears that all FT have had an automatic extension of their service upto 9 years added to accomodate for this change and no one has been informed of this either.
I now have (unsurprisingly) 3 rather p1ssed off FTs. 2 of which are seriously considering jacking it in.
I can completely understand their anger and frustration, they are now being forced to either accept what has happened, or apply for DE in the hope that they can get through. Either way, they will not be starting their course's as early as they had hoped.
I am not surprised that the senior's who have made this decision have just ridden roughshod over their subordinates in this way, it's not the first time. I am surprised that they have decided to make the decision, and then allow 'Gossip' to become the way this information is disseminated.
Very poor show.
