Donardboy,
I heard the same thing from an equally 'very reliable source' 8 weeks ago. Was told the whole thing had been staffed right up the chain, decision imminent, back to rates before you know it, etc, etc. Standing by...

The decision has been made and was passed to Stns verbally on Friday. Written confirmation will follow shortly. An amendment to the JSP is currently being written that will purely cover FSIs - when this is published the new system should go 'live' - no estimate on date though.

My source was also 'VERY VERY reliable'.

Dry your eyes Princess.

I don't suppose if it all changes back, that they couldn't prevent some tinkering with the FSI admin....probably still making it more cumbersome than the previous 'sign & spend' system....

Mayor Of Gander,

From your username, I guess your town would like to see the Actuals system back, like they tried there before

Those were the days . . .

Anyone fancy a bet that the rates will have somehow been recalculated since we last used them and perhaps be a little smaller???

Probably. And will we complain and risk going back to the old system ?

Apologies if my reply seemed sarcastic (the lowest form of wit!) I was more going for the cynical - been in too long (and read too much PPRuNe).

Ng,

Sorry, I interpreted your words incorrectly but I wasn't trying to be a smart a**e. I was 100% convinced again yesterday that this is going to happen sooner rather than later. It has also been suggested that if it happens before 1 Oct we will use the current capped actual rates as the rates to be issued. I only hope if this is the case there is not a massive decrease in the rates post 1 Oct. Fingers crossed !!

As mentioned earlier, we are now back on rates from 26 Sep 06 until 30 Sep 07. No requirement to keep receipts on overseas FSI's from 26 Sep. IE and OSA paid as rates, LOA still to be claimed via JPA.

Hoooooooooooray

I would have thought you are still into receipts, in fact more so. Under capped actuals you could stop collecting once you exceeded the cap? Under full actuals I would expect you need to account for every penny.

Rates again, hoorray....

Unfortunately the bean counters have also decided in their infinite wisdom, that we are to spend over 5 hours on the ground to be entitled to any rates....not including any airborne time at all (ie you could fly for 6 hours, be on the ground 4.5 and fly for another 6 and get nothing.....). Hmmm, puts a dampner on being back to rates. Therefore, a short stop over/lunch stop overseas gets you nothing. Back to square 1.
