The new Defence Aircrew Remuneration Review (DARR) is due out this year according to last year’s UK Armed Forces pay review. It’ll be interesting to see if that sorts the ‘winners and losers’ out.
Going back on topic. Here is why the proposed roll out of direct entry WO SNCO Pilots by the UK Army Air Corps makes little financial sense:
You can see that if the Officer Pilots and Soldier Pilots are paid the same RRP(F) - which they are - then the cost of OR8/OR9 Soldier Pilots is way more than Officer Pilots. Which seems a bit odd when often the quote of “it’s cheaper” is banded about!
