One of the most telling one liners in the brief was that Her Majesty could not compete with the civil sector when it comes to raw, financial re-numeration. In order to fund this 'uplift' in RRP(F) as it currently stands, the money has had to come from within the Defence budget. Any further uplift in RRP(F) would have meant that that another group/band/cohort in Defence would have dipped out.
Personally, I believe that this will see more aircrew retained which, I suppose (rightly or wrongly), is the overall purpose of this review.
