TOFO put it quite correctly. How about 3% rise in pay and allowances but all for the lower ranks so that a private/airman gets a big increase and then tapering off to nothing by the rank of WO?
Agree in principal, but it is not the JR's we are leaking, it is the SNCO/WO's who have all the corporate experience and have passed their IPP that are leaving in droves.
Whilst I would like to see the JR's get a pay rise, it's not much of an incentive for those we all depend on to make things happen, who are studying their hand and thinking of folding.
