Good post Wrathmonk. It would be simple to find out who's staying and who's going though - you just have to look at the pension stats to see who transferred to the new scheme and that's your answer!

I have considered quitting very seriously but will 99% stay until my 16/38 point now for the hours and the pension. However, I have no intention of staying in past it. It is with quite a bit of sadness that I've arrived at this decision because I naively thought I'd stay until 55 when I finished IOT 10 years ago.

But the simple fact is the RAF fails to look after it's people and with the woeful investment and leadership from on high I see no alternative. My fleet is dying a rapid death and along with the other legacy fleets we have, coupled with delays for new ac and the impending move to Brize, I don't the future is that rosy from where I'm standing.
