This means an ex-sqn ldr will retain more of his pension than an ex-flt lt.
Can anybody explain the rationale behind the pay abatement? It seems not only unfair but plain wrong to my simple brain. That you have to leave one job and physically apply and be selected for the second to my mind implies 2 completely separate and unrelated jobs, where previous knowledge and experience are the only connecting factor. So why does the FTRS post pay less? Surely there should be a rate for a job that gets paid regardless of ones other sources of income.
