It seems pretty obvious the ASP isn't designed for the sustainability of the pilots....
I agree with Shagpile's comment Re the bonus at end of ROSO, its not that junior guys need a bonus before ROSO finishes, but they do need career management and locational stability to ensure that they haven't already made their mind up to leave when they can. This was brought up at our ASP consultations, and these two points were more important to most people than pay. The spec aircrew thing sounds like a great idea, but its a shame that it can't actually be relied on- when the organisation's needs change they can simply change the rules and post you to Richmond.
In terms of career management, I'd be interested to here other stories of where this has led to decreased or increased commitment to the RAAF?
