Speak to your MP
I spoke with a Fire Union rep in Carlisle last week and they are moving forward, and quickly. They have a Union.
The RAF is not taking the matter seriously, as Ben has said the priority is explaining pilots in the hold.
If you, or your staff, are waiting for a pension decision before you/ they can move forward do NOT expect a rudderless system to provide answers.
Ask your MP to ask the SoS for Defence why those that risk their lives are being held whilst people on £100,000 a year are sat pontificating about when to earn their pay. Labour MPs will especially enjoy putting inept management to task.
