Flying pay

[Durka_Durka]

Hey guys, i was just wondering if anyone can tell me how much flying pay is to start with and does it increase annually or in longer stages?

Also, is it the OCU where flying pay starts now, although im sure a lot of you guys were getting it on EFT.

Cheers

4.3k(ish), 4 year increments, End of the OCU. Questions?

Yeah, i have a question or two for Mr pba....

Is Fg Pay better when you get PA ?
Is the normal Flt Lt pay increased also ?
or have i listened to Rumour control ?

Hope you can help as being a long way from Blighty makes researching this stuff a bit diff.
PM me if simpler/more discreet.

Dirty Sanchez,

Without the blunty bit the sharp pointy bit is useless, so please don't go down that route.

We all know that if flying was difficult then the engineers would do it.

Simply dangle the Flying Pay "worm" and you will always get a bite..............easy

Seldomfitforpurpose,

You're right of course as you are aircrew.

My hope is to keep non-aircrew out of this discussion and not to bite. I hope flg pay is (amongst other reasons) a retention or specialist payment for those who actually fly and deserve it - PVR or fly a desk and loose some of it. Only fair?

Same could be said about any specialist payment such as the bomb disposal payment just introduced. Fancy a bit of that?

We should be fairly safe, after all, this is an aircrew forum!....

It's without doubt the best bait on here, and the fish are nibbling ...........and I don't even get paid flying pay

We all know aircrew depend on the groundcrew to get anywhere, but without aircrew, we'd be in the army!!

Craven,

disappointingly my current location is somewhat removed from intranet and JSP access, but my understanding was that PA was a seperate pay scale from the normal Flt Lt scale....

anyone out there have the answer?

[Durka_Durka]

I was quite interested to see a report recently that read

"The air force is too aircrew orientated" ... erm?

the AIR force, once again... the AIR force

I think you should re-read the forum title at the top of the page. To save you having to scroll up it says...

Military Aircrew A forum for the professionals who fly the non-civilian hardware, and the backroom boys and girls without whom nothing would leave the ground. Army, Navy and Airforces of the World, all equally welcome here.

(my highlighting).

And of course the second best bait for the hook is the oft used but still classic "this is an aircrew forum"........................................
