I got the impression the RAF was pushing for the maximum number of extensions whilst elements in the MoD were pushing back. I also understand that the RAF had their transitional arrangement in draft well ahead of the RN and Army. Some people are working very hard to get the right deal to keep the 'offer' attractive; it's not over yet.
Still, it is of great concern with less the 11 months to go that the final pension arrangements are not sorted and that so little of the NEM is finalised.
