Don't hold your breath....
A word of caution for all thinking the PAS will mean a huge pension increase because of the flying pay being included. What they will probably do is give you a 'representative' pay band for pension purposes (whatever that means). All I know is that it is not as good as it first seems. The 'representative' pay band is not equal to your current pay plus flying pay at all. The Officers' PAS pension is calculated on the number of days done on PAS multiplied by a supplement, which will probably be changed as they see fit...(PAS pilots will get an extra 64.7p per day per year on PAS whereas WSO (RC) will only get 41.1p per day per year). Yet another front/rear split occuring and I thought we were all operating the same aircraft.......
Also will you be required to sign up for the new pension system when it comes out?
