Where it is a matter of opinion - a pilot grounded but overreacting by his Air ship - full reinstatement and possibly a sunshine benefit in further career (Just my thoughts)
Where an officer was found not guilty but everyone knew he was probably guilty or had been the victim as a result of provocation, it is quietly suggested that an application to immediate PVR would be accepted. For the individual this has the advantage of returning to civvy street with not a stain on his character and pension etc preserved. (I know two).
