Ah, I found the old thread, here is the link

There is lots of information in it for reference, so that we don't reinvent the wheel.
for example in respone to Oxymoron666's posts about percentages and how much the deal was worth to crew rather than retype I refer back to this post from the old thread
http://www.pprune.org/forums/showpos...&postcount=211 which detailed how much extra per month a crew member could of had extra in in the hand. A lot easier to get an understanding of the deal in terms of ££ in the hand.
Regardless, the deal is gone now, time to move on.
