Gloria, I too was made redundant within the intial 5yr PAS period (2 yrs in for me). However, my pension appears to be based on the 'Specialist Aircrew' rates that were definitely above the non-aircrew Flt Lt rates. I was on AFPS75 and the relevant para in the JSP did state that this would happen. I no longer have the exact wording to hand but it quite clearly mentioned Specialist aircrew as I then had to hunt around for their pension tables which were issued separately. I think they were used to cover the retiring legacy 'spec aircrew' guys and therefore used by Manning in the case of a PAS guy not fulfilling full 5yr ROS and leaving with IP.
