At the moment the discussions and submission of evidence is ongoing for the quinquenial review (QQR) of Flying Pay. Basically, the three pay staffs have to prove every 5 years that flying pay should be justified for the next 5 years. If they cannot, then we lose it. (Most unlikely, I would agree, but that is the premise). At the same time the RAF and RN Pay staffs are trying to extend FRI 2c, which is due to run out next year. (Army officer aircrew were not entitled when it was brought in about 7 years ago). The results will be announced by the Armed Forces Pay Review Body at the annual pay announcement in Apr 10. At the current economic state, it will be a tough fight to get anything more than what we get now.
