Hmmmmmm. .Just over two years to do until the great LV.
Cant'join the new PA so will stay Spec Aircrew as a two and a half.(not Spec AC Flg Pay!)
My [heavily taxed] flying pay is not pensionable.
A chap retiring two years after me will gain up to £8000 a year more pension.
His last few years in the RAF will gain about £3000 PA more.
....I suppose one has to be proud to be so undervalued (until 2006 that is !)
Cheers......
