Similar situation here - and due to the drastic thinning out of man power, many E grade civil servants now carry disproportionate amount of responsibility compared to the amount of pay they take home. Many are jumping ship and who can blame them? You can earn twice the wage at Asda without the worry that an entire fleet of ac could be grounded if you screw up.
Many civvies are worth their weight in gold (and some are pretty heavy too) but the way they are being treated by the MoD is disgraceful.
