“Support staff being the suits that walk around the shop all day in pairs carrying pieces of paper. The new jobs i imagine will be in production when the XWB comes online.”

“Could we have more detail on what RR term "support staff"?
And if overall number jobs are staying same or, indeed, rising (as the average person would expect given yesterday's news item) - where are the new jobs going to be? In manufacture? Design? And are people in Derby goingto get these jobs to maximise benefit to local economy?”
