I note from the latest AFPRB report that X Factor is due for review in 2007. X Factor, the element of pay which is meant to compensate for the disadvantages of Service life, was last reviewed in 2000 when it was increased from 12% to 13%. Have things changed significantly since 2000 and could this lead to an increase? Think about these in case the AFPRB call at your ship or station or post your views here as they will be monitored by those in MOD.
