Return of service
A friend of mine joined her service (UK) under the terms that they would have to serve for a minimum of 5 years on completion of relevant flying training courses. While she was on the OCU completing the advanced phase of flying training on the type that she would eventually fly on the front line, she was told by her course officer that she HAD (i.e. was obliged by the service) to sign a form commiting to a change in the Return of Service (RoS) from five years to six years. As a pure matter of interest, does anyone have any thoughts or opinions on the legality of this move. She feels, in hindsight, that it was a rather sneaky move considering the system induced pressure of flying training......lets face it, it would take a fairly brassy student to turn round to thier flight commander/course officer and refuse to sign such a thing.
Any ideas????????
