If they spent more money on improving the quality of life for those in the RAF, they wouldn't have to spend so much on recruitment advertising to replace the disgruntled who are leaving.
PAYD has its good points in principle, BUT as soon as somebody starts counting how many slices of toast I've taken, it becomes a poor service.
I think we should have had a PAYD referendum.
Q: As experienced Military Personnel, would you like:
a) PAYD to be scrapped and the previous system reinststed?
b) PAYD to be instigated as it stands
c) PAYD to be introduced in the manner of the old system, i.e. breakfast is breakfast and the USER decides what a normal portion should be, and the cost CANNOT be any greater than the existing system for DECENT food (not the sh!te set menu, with nice food paying a healthy supplement).
d) to leaveand therefore don't actually care.
