Tourist, a friend of mine leaves this month; but the only abatement to his 12 months PVR time was a few weeks of terminal leave and unused annual leave. It did knock a significant amount of time off (to the tune of 3 months or so) but if you have any information on how to cut that 12 months to something significantly shorter.... share!
Mate of mine shortened his PVR by a few weeks, got a friendly flight commander to plead his case. He did have a firm job offer and fixed start date to meet though.
