Incoming Region Changes - ASTRA

Frankly, we’re past caring.

Wing doesn’t do anything for us.
Region doesn’t do anything for us.

To all intents and purposes we’re self contained, so the rest can go and swivel.

True, once you’re sitting on the coach, it doesn’t matter much. Still, reducing travel distances and times is the right thing for best use of resources (volunteer time) and reducing environmental impact.

Arguably though, running 5 region field days (as an example) will use a lot less volunteering time than running 6. Even if some squadrons/wings now have to get a slightly longer coach ride.

Anything North of the M4 is North…

I get a nose bleed as soon as I pass Chieveley services

Quite a lot of it looks like ‘this works for the ACF…’ I agree about the analogy between CCF(A) and ACF; and I suspect we will see the TEST staff supporting ATC in the same way the CTTs also support ACF. Similarly with the handling of non-public funds which could well go via RFCAs.
A lot of this is TBC. What you read into the letter seems to depend greatly on what previous opinions you bring to the table.

Guernsey is North if you’re from Jersey… Doesn’t mean it’s North to the rest of us.

@JoeBloggs where on SharePoint was the letter in your opening post? I’m trying to find it to link. A search just brings me up with Wales & West. I find it odd that a big change was not in the announcements section on the main front page as you log in?

I am trying to look on my phone though, so that could be my downfall.

It’s not you, it’s our rather poor comms process.

As @GrandMaster_Flush above said, this isn’t in the national announcements. I only found it by looking in the W&W announcements/docs.

Shame that effective communication is a key part of effective change management then!

But slightly glad it isn’t just me.

Thanks!

I searched ASTRA in the search section

Good God man, are you insane?..

That’s at least a job for 3 x C1s and 2 E2s…

Planning the initial start up meeting prior to the pre committee phase of stage one of ASTRA wont happen on it’s own you know!

As did I, but I couldn’t find anything useful bar aforementioned W&W post. I haven’t found the search function very accurate previously though.

I searched ASTRA and limited results to the last week and had a skim through. Find the letter that I then linked to here!

Sorry, my point was poorly worded. I meant, is there a national non w&w version. Nothing against W&W just wanted to see if anything shared directly from HQAC

No, not yet

Just found this on SharePoint, talking about one of the first Wing Moves.

DNW Announcement

So guessing this means the changes are going to come out in dribs and drabs, not a nice new document outline the new structure!
