Decision Time
In the same situation myself...
Have had a first look at the sums though and it does look promising. The difference in pay between Spec Aircrew and PAS(at this years rates and not allowing for promotion to Spec Aircrew Sqn Ldr) serving from age 40 to 55 is approx £51 000 and with a slightly bigger pension to boot.
Which begged my question to PMA do those who sign up to the PAS still get the FRI2 (£50 000)? Still wait for an answer on that one.......I want a written guarantee of the FRI2 before I sign across to PAS as I'd rather go Spec Aircrew and take the £50 000 now rather than over the next 15years if PAS do not get FRI2.
Anybody else asked the question?
