We're all in different positions and circumstances so it's difficult but I would like to see some sort of confirmation of PA pay scale beyond 55. ATM, I am on Level 34 PA so would next years increment be the last I would receive so that my pay would effectively be cut for the next 4 years if I sign on?
Otherwise, having served over 30 years, I retain my 6-month PVR option (subject to service contingencies as ever), I remain on AFPS 05 and my pension increases. The loss of my immediate pension payment is an issue as we had planned to use that but otherwise I am struggling to see a downside, assuming I am happy to continue in full-time service.
The thought of an ADC job is enticing though (that's the 180 days per year job, not the bag carrier one) if I could persuade them to go for it.
