kinda lost me there fella. Guys here are looking for a decent pay rise for all. If a few of them happen to be officers, not sure what your gripe is. Then again, if you are happy to get a crappy pay rise, good for you fella, very economically sound too - you are an example to us all.
Personally, I think I am great and deserve 8%

Not sure what you are suggesting here. Are you suggesting we reduce Air Rank pensions (to what level?) or increase SNCO pensions? Could you give us examples of where 'we' do less DWR (I don't know what that is) and to whom 'we' are being compared. If 'our' Flying Club is being run by SNCOs maybe they should take the blame for the state of the Whole Flying Club.

As a SNCO, I agree with most of the post on here. However WINGMONG you are totally out of order. Everyone in this outfit deserves a good payrise this year. Everyone is at the limit, every section is stretched to the max.
Give the boys and girls what they deserve.

In any case, the "Officers maoning again (sic)" are actually hoping for a decent pay rise for all, but you're just moaning about the officers. I have no idea what "DWR" is, but if it's anything to do with amount of work put in by officers, every single officer without exception on my Squadron works a minimum 50 hour week, excluding station duties and night flying, while on top of their flying and administrative duties they have ingrates like you to try and keep happy.
At least, that's how it is for the Navy. I'm sure my colleague in the Air Force will correct me if it's any different for them.
However, if you personally don't care about your pay, you can always try to refuse whatever "rise" we get this year - I'm sure JPA has a button for it somewhere.

Doesn't look like it's today either, however, Monday may bring more joy;
Oral Questions - Culture, Media and Sport; Church Commissioners; Public Accounts Commission; Speaker’s Committee on the Electoral Commission.
Time will tell.
On another note, WINGMONG I am hoping that you are refering to SNCO's in the third person, because if you actually are a Senior you make yourself and the rest of us look pr1cks with comments like that.

wait for inflation figures
Biggus
Didn't realise the figures are published so far into the month. However, they might manage to get the figures out earlier this month if they want to use them to justify a crap pay rise
I still think they'll wait. All too quiet.
On the optimistic side, did hear that Govt TOLD AFPRB to go back to the table to ask for MORE money around the time the Operational Allowance came out!
Never know - GB might want to secure some defence votes ahead of May with his last budget by spending loads more cash on us and then letting some other fool clear up the mess

Any comment on the attached?

Can't see a specific figure for the Armed Forces, but the story (in true journo fashion!) infers 1.9% along with all other Public Sector workers. Looks like we'll be doing theirs and our jobs later in the year, for our 1.9, if threats of industrial action go through!!

In answer to Lord Garden's question in the House of Lords on Monday:
Lord Drayson (for the government) said the following:
Does anyone know if the gallant and noble Lord has written an answer to the House yet?
With regard to the morale of our troops, this may sound as if it is a long way from operations in Afghanistan, but it will be important to them: when will the Armed Forces Pay Review Body report be published? It is now more overdue than it has ever been, and it will be taken by the troops as a signal of how much the Government value what they are doing.
Lord Drayson (for the government) said the following:
I do not have an update for the House on the timing of the pay review report. If I can get some information, I will write to noble Lords with an answer.

Pay awards below inflation for public sector
[Public sector] pay awards would be implemented in two stages, and the armed forces in full, from April 1, said Mr Brown.
No mention of the AF numbers though.

Members of the armed forces, except senior officers, will receive inflation-busting rises of 3.3 per cent for the year.
