I'd heard that moves were afoot to automatically swap CS sqn ldrs to the PA spine once they achieved a certain age and it became clear that they wouldn't manage further promotion. This would have assured them of getting the bigger pension if they were on the new pension scheme.
As it is at the moment, flight commanders have to see their subordinates rapidly overtaking them in both their pay and pension prospects. So is it any wonder that CS sqn ldr aircrew are becoming disillusioned and leaving for other employers that might value them more?
Unfortunately, their subordinates detect that malaise and it spreads. Sadly, it doesn't seem that anyone has the power or the foresight to do anything about it.
