Project SIRIUS and its potential on my job fullfilment, flying pay and CEA was a major factor on my sourcing another job and starting Early Termination. It was the final, and possibly deepest, of a thousand cuts that told me "enough is enough".
My Immediate Pension lump sum will pay for the nipper's education and I have a £45k per year job in the bag plus my pension, which means that I am back on what I was on prior to leaving. Less stress and doing something I ENJOY, it was no-brainer!
Shame really, as up to that point I thought I had a career still to play for. With a B+ "Yes" on my last OJAR and less than 3 years in rank, I thought I might be in with a shout for a flying-related command tour. But without ACSC and Project SIRIUS pushing me into Mong Stream, I realised it was game over. Also, CEA and a loss of flying pay a distinct possibility to boot.
As I said on the other PVR thread - it has been a death of a thousand cuts for me.
