Be careful, the last time I ranted about the Scottish "Group Captain who became an Air Chief Marshal and went to work for EADS" I got suspended.
Working overeas, my pay is split between my UK bank and a local bank (in local currency). Last month (end of June) I got my UK pay and my local currency pay then, a few days later my local currency pay again. The fixed forces exchange rate has changed this month which, in turn has changed the LOA; you would have to be in the perfect circumstance for this to be a neutral effect. As of cease work today, nothing has gone in to the local bank although the UK element has been paid. Not seen a pay statement since the end of May.
This is not a whinge that I am short of money as the correction will be very minor indeed. But, with 12 equal monthly payments and fluctuating rates (and lack of pay statements) I have no idea what I am expected to be paid. JPA is a farce and heads need to roll!
