Did I read your post correctly? You seem to be labouring under the gross misapprehension that us blunties make the decisions in the RAF. The RAF is run by the 2-winged master race. It always has been and, despite the common branch attempt currently under way, it always will be.
So if you don't like the decisions regarding pay, flying clothing, pensions and the withdrawral of batting services to staging crews you know who is responsible for making them.
In reply to the original post: you can forget about a pension from the Armed Services. His Tonyness cannot abide Servicemen getting a pension before they are 65 and will have effectively killed off the scheme by the time he leaves power. I don't think you'll have much luck introducing it under the C*ntservatives either.
