NGR = Notice of General Release. That bit that says we are entitled to leave early should we choose to (18 mth notice).
Ship may well be sinking- where is the best place to be; head above water with enough youth left to get a job, or a drowned (forgotten) relic who was too scared to go?
Please don't give me stick because I want to make a personnal choice, and disagree with this rule. No other employer in the UK (nay, Europe?) would cut your earnings for exercising our freedom of choice. The reason I joined the RAF was to protect this freedom of choice.
Please don't offend me anymore by replying if you have nothing constuctive for me and my colleagues.
