I'll be off then....
GreenieLynxPilot has hit the nail quite squarely on the head. This issue will bite the Corps squarely on the ass in a few years time. The tractor bean pull of the 16 year pension has got me firmly within its grasp and I would be foolish to sacrifice the pension for the sake of demonstrating my anger. However as a hitherto loyal member of the AAC I am disgusted at the way in which this change has been brought in. This is a disgraceful way to treat the hard working, loyal pilots of the AAC.
And so whilst I will not be leaving in the immediate future, D/AAvn/31/003 has killed off any lingering chance that I might transfer from an IRC to a RegC. I am quite sure that I will not be the only one.
