Has
Wee Willy removed his post? He seems to forget it was us older ones who were deprived of five years at the top of the pay scale by an arbitrary bit of legislation that was never discussed, thus leaving the way open for youngsters to get their command five years earlier. All that has happened is that a loophole has been closed and the situation has finally started to return to a fair and normal state, try and remember,
retiring at 65 is the norm. Which of these two options would today's young FO rather have, an extra five years at the bottom of the captains scale, retirement age sixty, or an extra five years at the top of the scale, retirement age sixty five?
Captain Claret, - well said!
