First of all, please do not assume that everyone on here (and everyone affected by these changes) holds a commission.
Secondly, those that opted for the 05 pension made no "assumptions" other than their future fitness to serve to age 55. The figures given on the pension calculator were sold as fact, so regardless of whether the individual would be better off or not that option was a "sign-post" of loyalty and an intension to serve to that age.
We all have sympathy with those that have been dealt with poorly, but just because a significant number of Aircrew In Training were stiffed it doesn't make Xiapete's suggested scenario any less deserving of sympathy or correction by our organisation.
Why is it always a "race to the bottom"?
