We have seen a few CI’s being appointed to regional posts etc. Maybe that attitude will slowly start to change…

I think more a Wing issue.
I’ve been on 8 units in 4 Wings and in a unit level CIs are treated like one of the team…as typically they are.
At a Wing level they are an unknown and treated with suspicion, are they a keen type with no idea? Maybe they think they know it all? Are they just here cos their ward is in the organisation? Could they be ex forces? Are they the type looking to go into uniform?/they are the sort we don’t want in uniform! Are they going to be useful to me?
Because CIs have such a wide breadth of scope at Wing level they don’t know how to pigeon hole them so default to second class
I’m not saying it’s right but it’s my experience abd think that the sane attitude continues up to HQAC
