Serving Personnel


Enhanced Career Management (ECM) During our seminars and workshops, it was acknowledged that a great deal of work had been undertaken by ACOS Manning and the Trade Advisors to attempt to develop a career management system which was equitable and fair and most importantly to which personnel had a justifiable say in. It was particularly pleasing that 17k Corporals and below now have an opportunity to engage directly with Career Managers (CMs) and the extra capacity and trade expertise which is now available to them.

There are clearly some trades (particularly Engineers) who highlighted their disenchantment with the current pay banding. Technician delegates and respondents to surveys spoke of a ‘flattening of a pay structure’ which had led to a substantial amount of their personnel to ask ‘why be an Aircraft Engineer?’.


More generally and as last year, the public sector pay restraint continued to cause resentment and frustration amongst many of our personnel. Following the pay announcements this year, we will monitor the impact on this area in future years.
