officers are on a 1/60th pension, everyone else is on a 1/80th pension. This means for every year you have worked you accrue 1/60th or 1/80th of you final salary.
So what does this mean, in simplistic terms (there are a few other rules) officers who have served for 30 yrs (all air ranks) will get 30/60ths which equals a "half pension" due to time served. Everyone else will get an almost half pension if they serve for 37yrs i.e. 37/80ths.
So Air ranks do not retire a special pension, they have merely done their time.
I hope this helps.
