Manning estimate a ~30% shortfall in fixed wing aircrew within next 3 years with current outflow rates and recruitment/training pipelines open fully.
Lots of multi-engine aircrew leaving post initial 6 year ROS. The huge pension blow, capped salary, reduction/removal of allowances and NEM have hit the pay offer; new flying pay offer on the cards for enactment in April. It won't be enough.
With Future Accommodation Model on the cards (it's not cost saving, honest) plus the huge amount of bureaucracy, reduced pension now at 20 yrs service, plus additional duties and instability that comes with post-Herrick Service, is there any reason for people to stay?
