The other gem I understand happens is if you are on PES(A)/PA (depending on service) and have been on it for 5 years or more and then PVR, you automatically revert to normal rates of pay. On normal rates of pay and PVR, you flying pay is cut by half. This only applies if you PVR, terminating your service upon completion of a commission or tranche of service attracts no such penalties. Bu&&ers.
