JP,
I hear rumours that CAS is trying to push for all 3 tranches of redundancy to take place before 31 Mar 13 with a bit of flexibility built in to allow it to happen. Good for all of us if this is a) true and b) it actually happens. My cynical side sadly concurs with your thoughts though.
hg,
Those on AFPS 75 who leave either voluntarily or compulsory before 31 Mar 13 will receive 9 months tax free pay. Leave on 1 Apr 13 or after and it drops to 3 months tax free pay. This probably means that those who left in the mid 90's probably got a much bigger payout than someone who will leave in 2015...
But remember it's all about our people who always come first!!! B0LL0**s
