If posted to a non flying-related job, your flying pay freezes, and after 2 years it drops to 50%, then after 3 years it falls to zero.
Which is going to be a nightmare considering...
Latest RAF IBN today details Project SIRIUS - the officers career stream. What does it mean?
Officers at Sqn Ldr and above will elligible for selection to the "Executive Stream" (ES) if they are to attend Advanced Staff College (ASC) from Sep 11. If they have attended ASC in the past and are 0-5yrs senior in rank they will automatically chop to the ES and if they have 5-9yrs they will be reviewed on a case by case basis. For the rest of the Sqn Ldr+ "has beens" they join the "Main Stream" (MS).
ES will get tours of 3years or less and MS will get 3years+ tours.
...which means for MS officers a posting to a non-flying related job will be instant loss of flying pay!!!
I do believe the lunatics (ES?) have finally taken over the Asylum...
