''As far as I understand with both mil redundancies and VERS having been considerably more popular than anticipated, there is a lack of cash in the pot to meet the redundancy payments''........
Really Maxibon. I'll accept that VERS was massively oversubscribed but the RAF redundancy applications for tranche 1 were running at approx 50% up take. I wouldn't say thats 'considerably more popular than anticipated'. I know guys who are volunteering for afghan so they 'can't be made redundant'! Last thing i heard was Tranche 1 will be 50% volunteers the rest will be pushed. I feel sorry for anyone who's pushed but it could be the best thing that ever happens to them in the long run.
