to fairly represent those on Professional Aviator Spine
Exiled,

Just to jump in... Whilst PAS are "covered", the figures projected on the pension calculator are (to my knowledge) significantly distorted. Ask those on PA who have PVR'd and they'll tell you of the discrepancies. The Calculator calculations appear to work on reducing what you would have received at the 5 year option in a linear manner. A wise man will know that PVRing before the 5yr/43 point gives an actual pension pot not much greater than that owed at the original 38 point.

Ignoring Mighty Hunter's terrible split infinitive, the hint was there in the use of "fairly".

One might imagine that with redundancies in the offing, there would at least be a comprehensive online calculator to allow life decisions to be made... We live in hope. Ho hum!
