Sorry, what do you mean by rank bars? (other than the nice shiny silver BA ones I expect I'll be vying for shortly)
Is there the suggestion that to progress up the PAS pay bands one has to get promoted? Does that not actually defeat the object of PA? Getting promoted to Sqn Ldr PA immediately puts you into the melting pot of crap sqn ldr jobs that people accept PA to avoid. As said above, that'll ensure those of PA left will probably go...... Bizarre. Actually, I guess those of us already on the PAS won't be subjected to changed TOS.....
