This would seem to be a logical decision, in the unlikely event that anyone in the near future gets offered PAS at their 18 years assuming they have signed on to the new pension scheme.

Joining PAS at the 18/40 point is not mentioned in the letter
(there's another issue here - the original letter that came out of Pay Policy has a para 3 that states that all aircrew are to receive a copy of the letter; this hasn't happened, and the fact that you are having to rely on an e-mail emphasises that - I know that most people have so far only seen an extract from the original, if they're lucky (the original came out on 16 Dec - strangely enough that's the date that people picked up on the last PAS board had to make a decision by ... PTC co-ordination at its best ... ))
As far as I'm aware you can still only join PAS at 22yrs - but see the previous mega e-mail !!
