Possibly - but like most other cases which eventually required MoDinosaurs to mend their ways, it'd probably require a test case first....

Knowing that I could escape quicker than legislation could be enacted, the uncertainty over the pension issue first attracted my attention in late 2002 - and the lack of any positive statements from PMA or anyone else helped me to pull the handle after the AFPRB report of 2003.

Shame really; for the previous 35 years I thought that I was doing something worthwhile. Evidently not.....
