I for one would like to see bidline remain but with the proviso that some or all of the service given to the Armed Forces is taken into account for seniority.
Then we would see the correct people rewarded. When young cadets have done enough years they too may get some benefits.
Ex-forces shouldn't be penalised. We have given up a large proportion of our adult working lives so you Civilians could sleep in your beds at night. and should be recognised thus.
