The letter that the Sqn Ldr from STC sent is big stuff and this thread was way down in the list - has everybody seen it or is old news?
If this A Day (in April 2004) comes about, and I take my option point say in Apr 2006, then any pension contributions made during that time is not paid immedaiately but paid when I am 55 or 65.
The MOD is keeping this one very quiet - they know the consequnces. There will be hundreds of us leaving - nobody in their right mind is going to stay as we stand to lose thousands of pounds.
PMA needs to wake up and start communicating - but its shhhhhh time, nobody needs to know by the looks of it as it is not really important!
But as somebody said - the glossy brochure about pensions said we will have reserved rights or something like that. I am not convinced that all is well.
