It comes after Group Capt Lizzy Nicholl, who took over the recruitment department at RAF Cranwell in 2021, quit over claims the service had paused the recruitment of white men to hit diversity targets. It comes after leaked emails seen by The Telegraph showed that the RAF instructed staff to stop choosing “useless white male pilots” for training courses as part of its selection process for the air force.Īn RAF source told The Telegraph that the “email clearly demonstrates the endemic culture that was created by the senior leadership to chase ridiculous diversity statistics that were patently unachievable”. Meanwhile, the proportion of RAF personnel who agree that their leaders are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive workplace has fallen 15 per cent to 57 per cent since 2022. The survey found that RAF personnel are now less likely to agree that they have confidence in their leadership, compared with the Army and Royal Navy. The survey also found that confidence in the RAF leadership has halved in the last two years, now reaching its lowest level since this question was first asked in 2015. RAF personnel said they felt less proud, less engaged and less valued this year. It means satisfaction is at its lowest level since this question was first asked in 2007.
The level of general satisfaction at life in the RAF has fallen by 9 per cent since last year to 37 per cent, according to the latest UK Regular Armed Forces Continuous Attitude Survey. RAF pilots are not as “proud” to fly for the military, a survey has found, amid allegations of bullying and discrimination engulfing the air force.
