Question PA Spine vs SA Pension Question

Long time viewer, first-timer poster!

The great advantage and lure of the PA Spine was that flying pay was removed and therefore all the (improved) pay was pensionable. Having reviewed my options and investigated in some depth I have found that the pension rate given in all the publications and from Glasgow is the Spec Aircrew rate. JSP754 states 'For RAF PAS OF2s, this will be the standard Specialist Aircrew (SA) representative rank based pension'. Have I missed something pretty basic and switching to PA just a change of title or, has something gone awry with the system.

Looking for any enlightenment on this subject.
