Which is bad news for all those spec aircrew(PA or FTC(A)) or any RN pilot on a full term commission - that's a lot, who don't have any exit points. The ONLY way to leave from an FTC is by PVR prior to age 50.
That'll be all the RN Harrier pilots screwed again then. Better be a good redundancy announcement on Monday.
I wonder if BA realise the number of people this no pvr rule will exclude?
