PNVS,
Good point. I think if you work out the equivalent pensions for the levels of PAS against what rank they equate to on normal pension rates, you will see the reason why it is unacceptable to our lords and masters for WO to climb above level 22. The level 35 rate is equal to a red tab colonel. A warrant officer staying in until 55 could easily reach that level. Think that will be allowed or accepted?
I work with WO that are marking time on level 22. Each year I go up a level as I am LE, they do not.
Is that correct?
Professional Aviators should go up a level every year until they max out at level 35 right? ..... and then there is the real world.
