Does all this make a bit of difference though?
What does it take to get a salary adjustment? Lets say NLJ comes up with a recommended salary for a police line pilot to be say £48K, do we really expect the other forces to increase their pilots salaries?
NLJs unit may get a few more applicants for the vacancy so it would only be that units pilots who benefit, the 'new boy' starting on 48K and the ones already there getting an adjusting raise.
Once this salary of 48k is known, is there really an effective way for another unit to fight the cause for salary increase against those 'managment heel diggers' who will not be 'held to ransom'? You can hear them now...you don't like it...
There endeth a happy unit!
