In response to your original question about being able to go onto the PAS at your EDP date instead of your IPP date, which in your case I presume is eairler, you may want to point Binnsworth to the new JSP 754 which says:
General
05.0704. The PAS is compatible with the principles of Pay 2000. PAS NCA do not receive Specialist Pay (Flying) (SP(F)) as their basic rates of pay are enhanced to recognise their aircrew skills and employment in flying and flying related appointments. Those NCA not on the PAS will continue to receive basic pay and SP(F) appropriate to their rank and specialism.
Eligibility
05.0705. The following NCA are eligible to be considered for entry to the
PAS:
c. Royal Air Force. Individuals at or beyond their IPP/EDP
IPP – after 16 years’ reckonable service for officers and 22 years’ reckonable service for ORs.
EDP – available to officers’ and ORs on reaching age 40 and completion of at least 18 years reckonable service.
I havent had much chance to read the rest yet but it seems they may have done you a favour with the above rule. You can find the JSP at
http://defenceintranet.diiweb.r.mil....74/0/Chap5Sec7 on the intranet.
It takes a while to load but eveyone should have a look as it looks as if we have had a whole new TOS imposed upon us once again, on the sly.F
