When are we going to get the bad news !!

Be happy
I suggest you spend less time worrying about any pay award you may or may not get and count yourselves very fortunate indeed to be as well paid as you are in the current climate of global recession. As for FRIs, surely most of you are doing the job you dreamed of doing since a young boy and are very fortunate to have realised that dream. I'm sure that most of you are extremely well paid for what you actually do and as previously stated in the current climate of mass unemployment, low saving rates and homes being repossesed you should be grateful for what you have.
So stop worrying, the AFPRB will release the news when it has been checked. Be happy for what you have; it could be a lot worse!!

A cold dose of realism wouldn't go amiss here. The financial world is screwed and anyone in a relatively secure job should be thanking their lucky stars, not whinging about "derisory"pay rises! Having not long left the I RAF can assure anyone still in that the grass outside is decidedly less green than you might think. If you are in a job that you enjoy (mostly) and are paid a wage that you can live with then you are in a beter state than the majority of the country.

Griz, I agree.
Thirty whatever, I agree about the retention incentives, especially as the ones of us taking them are the ones who intended on staying in anyway.
As for paid our worth? Tell that to the gingers, maintaining Aircraft and paid the same as the Adj. Paid fairly, I think not.

Good post. A post where you were (incorretly) commenting on my spelling and were (incorretly) commenting on the spelling of spheroid.... Oh dear....of dear, oh dear .....(tee hee)
Just to put you out of your misery.... There is a C in Incorrectly
and you spell Hemorrhoid with 2 R's and an H (you may find it easier to call them Piles or Grapes....those words are easy to spell)
Good attempt at banter though.
However, in all seriousness. Should we pay the maintainers more?

Yes we shud pay them moore.
Compare the lvel of risponsibility of an Adj Adminor who has not much geater to do than screww paye up, to that of say a Sooty installing an engine or a rigga inspecting flying controls or an armouror saying a Rocket Chair is going to work.
No comparison.
They should not be getting the same as the pen scribblers (keyboard tappers). They also work harder in the modern arena what with the lack of spares, doubling work as they canabalise one for another constantly.
P.S.
Spell chick do'nt wirk too well.

As I've mentioned before, never mind the pay rise/freeze, what about the increase in charges that are surely on their way? and chance of finding out more than 2 weeks before they become effective?
There are those in the past day or so who have effectively been saying that we are well paid aircrew, with secure jobs in a recession, and shouldn't be moaning about when the pay review comes out...
To a certain extent I can understand and agree with that arguement. However, the pay review effects ALL members of the armed forces. Some 200,000 (ish) odd people are waiting to hear the results, a not inconsiderable number.
The resounding silence that seems to be occurring (not so much as an announcement of when a proper announcement will be made), considering we are well past the day when statements have normally been made, seems to imply a lack respect/interest/courtesy/care for/in the military.
As for everyone in the military being well paid, I believe in the latest Ross Kemp documentary on Afghanistan he is talking to a soldier at one stage, in the middle of a two way range exchange, who tells Ross that his wife works in a call centre and earns more than he does.....

Back to the thread ...
Two schools of thought on this one ...
1) There is a recession and money is tight so we're probably not going to get anything major this year.
2) We are stretching our manpower to the limit fighting two wars abroad so we should get all the money in the world.
We can discuss those two points till we're blue in the face, it doesn't change the fact that it is not our decision and whatever we think is not going to change the decision of those who are making it.
In any case, I don't care either way right now, what I would like to know is ...
... when are they going to release the damn report then I can stop checking the MOD intranet for news everyday
