A new(er) document is now available to HR Admin Staff, called " Guide to Pay and Charges"
This will tell you about Continuous Career Basic Pay (which I believe Flying PAy will come under)
As alluded to, if you come out of a flying post, after 6 years with out revisiting a flying job for a min of 91 days, your flying pay will cease.
Just find an OOA det with flying post attched every 6 years and you'll keep the pay is what it looks like!
An interesting point is that if you are medically downgraded due to non-service reasons (ie playing rugby for local side at weekend, break arm etc) then they will stop your Specialist Pay and entitlement to reserve bands immediatley! The service test is " Was the Med Downgrade due to reasons within the individual's control?"
Yes / No
If the service was at fault then your SP will continue for 18 months to allow treatment etc.If after 18 months and u have not been upgraded then you will go onto the reserve band 3 years. (ie 75%,50%,25% of SP decreasing)
Also ALL Spec. Pay posts will be reviewed yearly to check they still qualify. If they do not, the next person coming into that post will not be eligible for SP!!
