Sorry, I haven't yet had a chance to digest the whole presentation; however I remain convinced that, although these first retention incentives will be primarily targetted at those groups where manpower shortage is the most serious, non-Officer aircrew retention will NOT be ignored. The ARRWG has worked pretty hard to achieve this first result, many things have been achieved (presently restricted to Officer aircrew, I admit) which have long been sought.
Speak to your Personnel folk tomorrow and just ask them to establish what the estimated timetable for a parallel retention incentive announcement for non-Officer aircrew will be. They are there to help you, after all.......
