It wasn't a leaflet, but a full-sized A4 glossy brochure report. On the Stn on which I was serving at the time, I am only aware of one copy being sent to each Sqn Boss, for dissemination of the contents. As far as I could ascertain, most sat in the bottom of in-trays and may never have made it to the crewrooms. I was only aware of its importance because I had chanced on the whole review process while (legitimately!) surfing the intranet. The general view at the time, amongst the few I spoke to who had even heard of it was along the lines of "something for the future kids; it won't affect me". Touchingly naieve. No wonder the whole question of whether additional pay should become pensioned was kissed-off on the basis that "there is no significant appetite for additional pay to be pensioned". As far as I can recall, this conclusion was drawn on the basis of replies from about 50 people, almost none of whom were aircrew. But the system claims that you were consulted. Sad, isn't it?
