Interesting article. I wonder who came up with the idea of paying soldiers even less than planned - do they WANT to decrease retention rates, even in a recession?

Well yes I am, no it seems I don't know the specific report you're alluding to, and you should he was who I replied to in the first place?

Check PM's, this has nothing to do with the thread anymore?

Not sure about flying pay - but how much is boarding school allowance costing? At a time when we can't find £100m to refurb the 3 MRA4 prototypes to the active fleet, then it looks like a luxury....
