Just restoring the original intent of PAS would be a start. It was originally crafted so that a top level flt lt would receive exactly the same pay as a ground branch officer on appointment to gp capt. Due to various factors and changes over the years a flt lt will not even make it to the top of the ground branch wg cdr pay spine.

The increase and subsequent reduction in the PAS retention profile has neatly followed the increase and then reduction in the remuneration package. QED?

Replacing flying pay with a periodic cash bounty looks like another folly. Spread an income evenly over many years and the tax system works for you. Getting a big taxable lump sum in a single tax year works for the treasury.
