Also, as I am officially living in a garage, I may well apply for some benefits.
You'll get a visit from an officious council employee asking if you've got planning permission for the change of use of the garage. They'll evict you if you havn't got it

Can not wait to read The Sun tommorrow when no one gets flying pay as is the case with a large majority of BZN. Also would love to be a fly on the wall at PSF sorry HR dept when pay issues finally push those on the edge of going to actually hand in there PVR. Computer says no......pay!!

Angry Pay chit, what pay chit!

Good, bad or indifferent but at least some bods know what their going to get & the breakdown.

In deepest darkest Lincs pay chits have yet to be seen, bl@@dy brilliant.

Still could be worse, I might not get paid at all.

I hope that someone has sent an e-mail to the Air Cdr and his minions giving them a link to this thread. He may then get a shock about what's happening at grass roots level and the strength of feeling. Another national IT debacle...

Maybe the editors of the national dailies could get an 'inadvertant' opps! sorry, mis-directed e-mail with the link to this...

Maybe. Perish the thought that anyone in the highly valued Armed Forces would do such a thing deliberately.

Ooooh! Look! Flying pink pigs!

There appears to be a lot of maoning about pay on this thread. As a proper Royal Air Farce Officer you should all have a private income, large country estates and several polo horses.
I thought pay was for rankers.

And don't forget, everyone should have at least one months worth of pay in the bank at all times......

I think you're confusing us with the Ruperts, Adana 'bab.

The problem with JPA is not the software, or the servers. I'm led to believe, by somebody who knows about these sorts of things, that the network itself simply doesn't have the bandwidth to support it, and never will without a MAJOR upgrade (somebody in the office yesterday gave a very convincing, albeit highly technical explanation that went right over my head!) Therefore, it seems likely that it'll NEVER work - just like ALFENS....

What we'll end up with is a system with a small group of protected users able to access it, and us requiring to go through them to get our 'self service' admin done. Who knows, maybe we could form a dedicated Flight and give them a dedicated office in handbrake house...now, what could we call them?

They deal with Personnel, and provide Services........

We can't all be in the Household Cavalry. My parents aren't cousins for starters.

I was always led to believe that you had to be in possesion of enough cash for a haircut at any time. Even in these inflated times, this comes nowhere near a months pay.

Sadly with JPA being down we will not be able to access the 'PVR Now' button!!

Looks like I got my FP as I have a seperate credit in my account for £618.

Shame as I was enjoying the prospect of blunty baiting this morning

I thought Kings Regs required officers to always have enough cash to call a carriage.

I'm PA and I've been paid £1000 too much this month so I can only assume (no pay statement) that I've been paid flying pay by mistake!

Talking Dosh in the bank.

Well some money has turned up in the bank, not sure if its exactly right but its enough to pay the alcohol bill.

Thank the lord for internet banking, you know thing; hundreds of thousands of customers, all able to access and interact with their accounts at any time and all nice & secure. I wonder if anyone from JPA world had a look at how the banks manage to do that?

JPA, nice concept but p1ss poorly introduced.
