with flying pay being abolished for the days when aircrew are not actually flying?
Assuming/hoping this is veiled (albeit poor) attempt at humour, I will add in the interest of accuracy Flying pay no longer exists. To do as you suggest would mean the RAF only want to recruit and retain on days when I/we/you actually fly.
In this day and age not a lot of recruiting and retaining will be done.
_ Why should the public pay for a product or service that they are not receiving? I am in receipt of GYH(M) allowance, but this equates to 2 return journeys per month; it does not assume that I am driving up and down the motorways 24 hours a day, all day and everyday - it represents a realistic usage of public funds.
