RAF Wingers
For the second time in an open forum now the 'winger' comment has been made by Wg Cmdr (see LEAN at Lyneham), once they recive critisim are they taught that all are beneath them and then just wingeing? 
Do they not realise that there are serious concerns and we have no recourse but to the open forums, to air our viewpoints. As no other buffer will.
I for one wait with baited breath to see if he is as good as his word, if not he then just gets added to the rest of the white noise coming out of the MoD/Gov for me.
Oh and whats he doing reading forums anyway, GET it fixed then read the forum..............

I concur with most of the above. As soon as you display anything but subservience in this RAF you are shafted!! Hence the benefit of this forum... it allows you to vent your frustrations without shafting yourself. Summed up with the general policy spouted by Seniors and PMA at this time.... "if you don't like it leave". Maybe it should become the new RAF motto???!!

- Nothing on the Internet is totally anonymous.
- This is a rumour network and rumours are often wrong.
- News reports are frequently inaccurate and spokesmen are often misquoted.
- People who post to forums are often not what they make themselves out to be.
- Some contributors may have a dark reason for creating discontent.

Whinging, eh? Ok fellas, lets just stop any further posts this week. Nothing more, completely dead. Then on Monday, everybody should be able to use the system as advertised. OK?
Let's not give the good Wg Cdr anything further to gripe about, and assess the situation next week. By then, all missing pay will have been paid and there will be no more problems. Got it?
No more posts then.
But Wg Cdr Field, you'd better be right, or stand by for the blast.
You ain't seen nuthin' yet...
[You got to admire his b*lls!]

Even bored RAF whingers have rights, sir.

Of course he's unhappy with press interest in the story, its exposed him and the system for the total pieces of crap that they undoubtedly are !

Of course, it would not be right to email him with personal JPA queries...

I am when I can get on it. Couldn't submit my leave last week, so wandered down the corridor to see the Sqn scribbly. He handed me a piece of paper saying 'Fill out this form'. Now, the piece of paper he handed me looked suspiciously like a leave pass (remember them?)
Anyone got any wheels that need re-inventing?

Here's one for you that I only found out about whilst having my pay cocked up. You remember the good old days when they could only take money back off you at a rate of 4 days' gross at a time? Well, if you're not already aware, that's all changed.
You can now have up to 50% of your gross monthly pay (minus Income tax, NI Maternity Pay, Statutory Adoption Pay and Statutory Maternity Pay) taken off you in one lump. See a a little beauty of a publication called JSP 754 Ch2 Sec 4 for more details.
A nice chap in the JPA "back offices" (Ian Sneddon) told me that when I asked how come large wodges of my pay could go missing for no apparent reason. So if you get a mistake in your favour (or even just some act of wrongness) applied to your pay account, unfeasibly large deductions can now be made all at once.
Just thought I'd let you all know in case you weren't aware...

Has anybody received the PR stuff they were sending out? Mousemats and mobile phone deckchairs. Real shame, considering mobile phones are banned in pretty much all Admin Offices....
Also heard that one or two members of the RAF who decided not to come to work a few years back have been made "live" and paid!
Still, waiting for Monday to see the new improved JPA XP/PS3/XBOX360 Version 1.0 that the Wing Commander will be working on this weekend. In line with most software that Officers like, as long as it produces graphs in colour it will be declared a resounding success.....

Have had the JPA Customer Care Charter if that counts...
In fact I went up to the admin staffs' hideout to see if I could get an address of someone who might have an orifice in which the said document could be appropriately inserted. Unfortunately it was shut as they were away team building...
Have to say, those personnel still at work in admin were very helpful and sympathetic, but it does give the impression of management "fiddling whilst Rome burns..."
