Totally agree. But at the time those concerned were only employed to their 38/16 point and it was upto the whim of the selection board as to whether PA would be offered. It would be a brave or foolishly confident or stupid man to make the leap onto a new scheme which would give you a tiny lump sum when you were booted out and no pension until 55.
Now PA has been offered to those concerned, surely this is a change to their terms of service ie longer contract,different pay spine. With these facts they should be offered an option to change at the same time as the PA offer.
