As a fence sitter in Oz in a similar situation, I waited over a year for a 'review' into Aircrew retention (possible contracts, Spec aircrew, retention benefit, pensions etc etc et al.....). Only to be told that the Minister for Defence will set up a review committee that would embrace a larger issue (retention in all ranks & services). Needless to say the Aircrew review lost the plot..... and I finally left!.
Jump ship. The grass IS greener!
