Scotch B,
You are quite correct, a WO1 or WO2 on PES(A) is better off than a Major and a Major on PES(A) is better off than a full Colonel. I could baffle you with the maths....actually I was baffled but the final figures can not lie. They are spitting feathers at the apparant oversight of someoone being better off than them. There are some hoops that have to be jumped through for the WO's to proff and the cynic in me will watch the with interest if they are allowed to complete their final tranche of LSL(A) to qualify. I hope they do as the little earner I (and others) was hoping for was cruelly and vindictively taken from me by the very people who are supposed to look after my interests. LE commission post 22 years service in the ranks, the PES(A) door is closed. Stay in the ranks on LSL(A) and the PES(A) door is open. LE is better off up to a point at about 52 years then the LSL(A) man proffs. Bu**er.
