no retention pay for 6 years for aircrew
That's not quite accurate. I agree with the general thrust of your post though
This is something lodged with the Pay Colonel's office right now for announcement early next year; no flying pay until end of initial 6 year return of service (although some sort of lump sum at that point)....plus an increase of flying pay tiers after that at a cost to public purse of around £10mil
