First TG4 and TG5 - Wonga Dot Com!
I see that a FRI has been introduced for TG5 Gen Tech (Mech) personnel at SAC(T) rank for later this year. A requirement for a 3 year commitment to stay for £10k.
So when is the TG1 FRI coming? i thought they were hurting the most in the techie trades?

10K for 3 years? So 3K/yr or so. What's that for an SAC(T), about 10-15%?
So the question is, can these guys earn that premium over their RAF salary outside the wire?
I don't know about the TG5 guys, but the TG4 CIS guys, almost certainly, particularly with Service experience.

I was TG5 many moons ago and certainly made more outside the wire... albeit inside a foreign wire.
Theres certainly quite a few job recruitment posts on the TG5 facebook page and usually they offer pretty good money although I've no idea what an SAC(T) picks up these days.
It's also possible that BAe are actively recruiting for the overseas Typhoon programs in which case 10K over 3 years would probably be peanuts!

From what I understand, TG1 have easily recruited their manpower requirements for the next year. Lots of other TGs are however struggling, some well below 60% of the requirement.
As an aside, TG11 to be reintroduced!

Which in no way replaces experience that walks out the door as it is what, 2 years before these new recruits will be usefully productive....
It is not just the RAF which has this problem - it is the same where I work but senior management seem to think that anybody can do the job if they can read a procedure...monkey read monkey do ; )
We have a huge skills gap between the few ageing and very experienced techs and the young guys at the start of their careers,others have gone elsewhere or gone up the slippery pole !
