Jungly Daz, the 7 clicks to freedom. Where are they going to leave to? the oil industry is on it's knees right now.
It's **** getting pay cuts and not deserved but it's no bed of roses just now beyond the blue suit.
There are many options beyond the blue suit. While the Oil/ROV world may be the recent traditional vocation, there are many other options. Many of the the guys and gals are bright, articulate and have skill sets required throughout the civilian world. The question is, does the individual feel valued (one would suggest pay cuts do not add to feeling valued) and is the salary attractive enough to stay.
Flt Lt no RRP(F) +45K v Flt Lt PAS +65K, I would imagine those 7 steps would happen soon enough for one set of those Flt Lt's. All shall become apparent when the review of RRP(F) is carried out in the next year or so.
