4everAD,
That is the point of my previous posts. Times have changed. There are examples in most trades where responsibilities have increased.
As those who know, the JSJET has to take a certain percentage in each trade and rank to make a judgement, it is not a straightforward system.
It is more complicated by the increasing amount of out of trade posts. QCIT as an example, which is filled predominately by engineering pers. Same pay for doing same job?
