Loss of Flying Pay after PVR
I will shortly be submitting my PVR to get out of the RAF and have a few questions that I hope someone may be able to answer:
1) In the absence of the PVR function working on JPA, what form are you supposed to use?!
2) Under JPA, my flying pay (currently middle rate) will be reduced to 50% of the top rate. The relevant JSP (can't remember the number) states that flying pay is for retention purposes and as such, when you PVR 'it hasn't worked'. I think this argument is fundamentally flawed, on the basis that Paras get Parachute Pay for doing a dangerous job, not for retention purposes so why isn't flying pay also for doing a dangerous job. I'm currently seeking legal advice about this from Mr Blades. Has anyone challenged this in the past? If so, what was the outcome?
