The gorilla,
If you can get access to JSP 754, you will find out that under JPA, the amount of flying pay is now halved upon PVR. Previously, you dropped down a level. For me, i am on the enhanced rate, so the drop is quite considerable!
Charlie,
I can't find any info on NGR terms - if they still exist and the terms are as you remember, then this might be a good option - I am in no rush to leave, and having a defined exit date would be very useful. Thanks for the info.
My reasons for leaving are personal, and i would appreciate not getting told how lucky I am to be getting any FP at all. I seem to be spending well over half my time living/ flying around a certain sandy sh1thole, and if i am 'still' required to fly in/out of some of the most dangerous airports in the world - receiving half FP is unacceptable.
Having trawled through the JSP, it just seems convenient that they have been re-written to suit the mil. Funny that.
