BV, whilst I applaud your positivity, there is a problem here. The PA offers are designed to retain expensive and hard-to-retain experienced personnel. The fact that the (in my personal view) derisory offer of £20k taxable for a 5 year RoS has almost entirely been unsuccessful speaks volumes as to its achievement of the aims of retention. It is not for me to comment on people's individual motivations but if a £2400 per year bonus for 5 more years is not tempting enough people to stay then it can be said to have failed.

This is only to be compounded by the rumoured "restructuring" of ab initio flying pay (sorry RRP) in that significant numbers of first tourists will probably be joining the already significant numbers of experienced operators at the queue for the door. I honestly believe that aircrew manning is heading for an unprecedented crisis in the next few years, and tossing loose change in the hat is not going to change anything.
