Unfortuately they are often targeted at the wrong people - namely not me!
Oh so true.
I got paid 2 X 5K gross in 2000/2001 as long as I signed up for three further years. I had to do two of them anyway to qualify for the extra pension attributable to the promotion I had just had.
Net result, 6K in the hipper for leaving in May 2003, instead of Jan 2003.
And me not even a pilot!
