That is pleasing news; parity at last. Of course thinking selfishly it would appear that the 300ish people who were disadvantaged by this crass change in policy will still be affected. So everyone before the decsion was changed is "quids in" and everybody from Apr 08 will progress at the same rate as RAF and RN counter parts, thus are also "quids in". What about the blokes caught in the middle; backpay? I hope so but think not.
Any link to the document announcing this change?
