Flying Pay
Could anybody please shed some light on flying pay in the RAF for me?
I am in the situation where I got accepted for a bursary when flying pay was paid after 72 weeks of flying training. Since I failed to complete EFT pre cut off date it is now not paid until after OCU.
I find it somewhat unfair that you accept a jobs terms and conditions then the rules change. If I wanted to back out pre IOT I would have had to repay the bursary, so surely a contract existed. I have heard someone is arguing the same point with the help of a solicitor. Does anybody know if this is a rumour or somebody is making headway?
It seems a ridiculously unfair system where the individual is punished for the length of the training system. This post is not intended as a discussion regarding the whole flying/retention argument or if aircrew should get it.
Many Thanks
