The whole cutting flying pay on PVR is a load of rubbish
No it is not. If the extra pay is failing to retain you then why should you receive it?
If anything the new rule pushes more people out at option points
Thats why they are called option points. The MOD don't offer "options" points because they are being nice and fluffy to you, they want and expect you to leave. If everyone decided they wanted to stay in at the option point we would be overloaded.
