So we're getting 3% are we...?
I've just done the maths (or math for our colonial friends) and I get the following:
Level 3 OF3 (Lt Cdr/Major/Sqn Ldr) as of 1 Apr 05 daily rate £121-62 and enhanced flying pay £36-53. This totals £57724.75 pa.
Level 3 OF3 as of 1 Apr 06 daily rate £122-37 and flying pay £37.63. This totals £58400 pa.
Anyway I do the maths that makes a 1.7% increase. The only way I can make it the Government quoted 3% is to look at the next yearly level increase of pay to Level 4 (totals £59458.90 pa).
Am I missing something or have I unconvered another con from our wonderful Gov???
Harrumphhh!
