bah humbug,
what a total crock we have been sold and the powers that be know it (AASS gets a good old slating in the AFPRB's 31st report). Wow a £20K FRI for those at their 17yr point and a percentile payment for those with less 5yrs to run, this incentive is only to run for 3yrs so yet again their airships have a short term solution to a long term problem. It was good to read that flying pay is to be paid dependant on rearcrew employment, once they have got the mystical computer fixed in 2005 (I have got to admire the gall of that blatant lie)
