Basically you get Tier 1 (about £4,250) from start of flying training plus 6 years and then at OCU+6 years you go onto Tier 2 which starts at around £14k and then annually increments up to £20k. Plus also, at OCU+7 you get a £70k retention payment with a 6 year return of service (which in most cases will take you to the new Early Departure point of 20/40). If you tot it all up then you get more than the old scheme paid out - but for the youngsters it seems like ‘jam tomorrow’, which it is, but a lot more jam than before in total.
Get on MODnet and look for 2017DIN01-050 for more details.
