From the Stn news-site:
'Date of Notification of Tranche 3 Redundancy Boards will be 12 Oct 06. PMA8 (R) will be aiming to get the letters to Stations as soon as possible in advance of this date. Letters notifying applicants of non selection will be despatched direct to individuals concerned, to arrive on or shortly after 12 Oct 06.'
Doesn't give people much time to sort out their resettlement etc with an Apr 07 exit date for volunteers. And if the subsequent PVR spike materialises, the poor Resettlement Advisors are going to be flat out coping with it all. Speaking from experience, RRAs are top people - very helpful and professional.
