Pontius, I fully agree.
The problem with supporting people taking "industrial inacation" as suggetsed by sidewayspeak is that some of the blunties don't think that aircrew should ever have been getting flying pay when not in a flying post.
I can see why some might want to quit on the basis that their T&Cs are being changed. It seem svery unfair if MOD can say you are no longer getting what you were getting, if the aircrew are unable to say the same.
