I was waiting for this one to come up - LSA level qualification.
I'm actually surprised they haven't zeroed everyone's qualification to J-Day, but that might be too much chiselling even for them! It follows the pattern of Pay 2000 when it took me 4 years to get to the same level I would have been on had I been promoted a month earlier.
"If you don't like it, leave" - yes sir, on my way.
