Pay was a joke for the PDF in the Haddington Road and Lansdowne road agreements ; they were not invited to the negotiations - either PDFORRA or RACO because the DOD are terrified of causing a knock-on effect.
As Fantasia says you may see this being done through allowances but that is in no way a fix. RDF suck even worse because we get PDF pay less 10% with no allowances ( sorry Uniform allowance which is now taxed ffs )
I think there is a tone deafness to why people are leaving - it will continue - the amount of tech jobs is not going to decrease and the pay is very good out there. DF could compete on accomodation if it built family lines - the Brits and the Americans do well with this to compensate for the pay, it also fosters a lot of family spirit. We used to until we lost sight of that.
