Rumours?
My informant says that a 'review' is currently on going within HQSTC as to the viability of PAYD after the experiences of the trial sites.
Turns out that the trials were for the benefit of the potential contractors and NOT the customers. Contractors are not convinced that they can turn in a decent profit unless they can completely monopolise ALL retail outlets on a unit.
Henlow's experience has been a disaster & Leuchars has left the JNCOSs miffed at the loss of their mess to the SNCOs & Offrs amongst other things.
Halton was supposed to be amongst the first to introduce PAYD fulltime but is now going to be a trial as well.
Any counter rumours to the above?
