southside,
Which pension scheme we chose was up to each of us, and wholly dependent on circumstances.
For everyone else,
Before we get into another southside slagex, the figures as I understand them.
The supplements per day (2005/6 figures as I don't think 2006/7 once have been announced yet) are:
Pilots: Flt Lt £0.707, Sqn Ldr £0.705
Nav: Flt Lt £0.523, Sqn Ldr £0.521
Rear Crew: Flt Lt £0.449, Sqn Ldr £0.447
If you leave before completing 5 years on PA with AFPS75 then you lose the supplement. As a Flt Lt you get the basic Spec Aircrew pension, as a Sqn Ldr you get the basic CS Sqn Ldr. If you leave after 5 years then you get the supplement on top of the pension.
I'm sure Ginseng will correct me if I'm wrong here.
The figures are published as a "Directed Letter" each year. I used to be able to find them on the intranet, but now they have reorganised everything I can't find anything!
Hope this helps.
