True in a technical sense, but how many 17 year olds are going to enquire about pensions when all they are really interested in is getting their mitts on a nice shiny aeroplane and flying it at the queen's expense. I know if you can't take a joke ..... etc etc, but why is this joke only played on officers?
Possibly because unlike 17 yr old Officer Cadets, the rest of the Airforce at that age have been more savvy as to what is happening to their pensions and have in the past stood up to it and not taken it bent over a table from the rear, so to speak.
