Compensation for reserve volunteer time

Would anyone else (Reg F or P Res Cl B) volunteer at a reserve unit for parade nights or weekend activities if they were compensated separately? As a Reg F mbr I would definitely be down at an armoury if it helped add another source of income. I'd probably be down at the armoury every chance I got.

Units are currently strong arming Cl B members to continue parading "voluntarily". Imagine a world where members would choose to continue supporting reserve units and were compensated for that additional time.

Get some extra money to be an ARSO, go camping, run a course, do some admin? I'd be all over that and probably try to carve out 100 days a year if I was compensated. Imagine the injection of 'missing middle' leadership into the ARes?
