Pay Rise on 1st April 09?
New Rumour!
I hear a rumour that the AFPRB 2009 is done and sitting waiting for release, however, the Senior Officers (2* and above) PRB has been thrown out for re-draft and they want them to release them at the same time.
Don't know if it's true...

Really at a loss now to understand when HMG are going to smuggle out news of our distainful pay rise this year. Incapability and his chums really must hold us in the lowest esteem.
Bunker....
I would suggsest, not for the first time (WMD anyone...?), that Int is wrong.
2.6% and 1% on X factor is what we got LAST YEAR. I would suggest people have been searching for AFPRB details, and not picked up that what they found was actually details of the 2008 pay award. See below, the first one I came across on google:
Pay Award 2008

The retention thingies which came out in the 1990s went into my savings account - as did most of my terminal lump sum.
Although quite a chunk went into ISA and PEP accounts linked to the FTSE-All Share. That was such a good idea
- and I thought that the government was encouraging people to make provision for the future in this way. But that was before Incapability Brown and Darling the Idiot allowed the greed of the banks to expand unchecked.... So those funds are now effectively locked in until the City stops flapping about like an old hen and gets back to traditional values, rather than loadsamoney short termism.
All we've seen under nuLabor is utter failure, the surveillance society and nanny-state restrictions in every aspect of our daily lives. Plus deeply unpopular military adventurism; the general public supports the UK Armed Forces unquestioningly - but there is scant support for nuLabor's abuse of their services.
Of course the Armed Forces deserve a pay rise - but it is unlikely to be a significant rise, thanks to this so-called government.

The fact that I elected to become a Specialist Aircrew officer is nihil ad rem.
In 1997, Brown allowed the FSA to get into bed with greedy bankers, overturning the established prudence of the Bank of England.
The culture of saving seems to be lost today's society of greed - people are encouraged to borrow and spend money with little thought for the consequences.
Anyway, I see little chance of the Armed Forces receiving a substantial pay rise this year, regrettably.

Now, if we had a competition between AIDU and BEagle as to whose posts we would prefer to read - I wonder who would win?

BEagle & I both suffered under the Command of the PCL - so I guess we have a certain affinity borne from that experience.
Anyone who does not wish to read his posts can easily (at the press of a few keys) elect not to view them.
I see no need to descend into denigration.

LADIES!!! Hand Bags! Please!
Everyone is obviously a bit tired and emotional about the delay. Now, the real question, irresepective as to the quantitive amount of the delay, is WHY?
Some have suggested 'Political Timing' as the cause, others; that reports were rejected. I would surmise that all is not well upstairs, and several posts here hint at this.
I don't personally expect good news, but this year is forging new ground in lateness! (Beagle, I've only been in since 87.... sorry)
In my (limited) experience of political stuff..... Nothing Happens Without A Reason. Nothing. So, What is the reason? (I Truely hope it has nothing to do with Ms Goody or is that Mrs 13425678! Soon to be)
Bottom line: Beyond Late..... and somebody knows why, and it's been thought out.

Faithless,
I truely hope you are right. But, I would go for 1.5% as you described.
Here's hoping! Oh, by the way, any guesses as to NEXT years? Has there ever been a Mil Pay CUT? Based on inflation??

If we get negative CPI over the next 12 months I will eat my flying helmet.
Food inflation is indicating close to 10% PA at the moment AFTER the VAT cut; with cyclops's money printing plan turning sterling into toilet paper, I think the spectre of negative inflation is a way off yet.

My worry is not the pay rise. I listened with horror as our PM stated that a fat cat banker would not receive his £650,000 pension even if it was currently not legal to prevent it. I expect that the current crop of egos who attempt to run the country will have the law changed - no doubt with public support - to deny a failing fat cat is his lucre. However, will this precedence in law then allow them to change our pensions at whim as well? I dispair!
I suggest you take a look at the PPRuNe Ts &Cs before you post any more insulting remarks, Mac.
Of nuLabor, this article in the Torygraph is pertinent:
Britain 'nation of form fillers watched by quarter of world's CCTV cameras' - Telegraph

Gentlemen.... Please.
We are going to be, lets face it, shafted by this Idiotic Government who couldn't run the Isle of White, let alone the British Isles. We don't win votes so we are not important to be looked after.
Besides, the country (or at least the Media) are more interested with Mrs Goody and her slow painfull death. And she's suffering also.
The sooner this bunch (and Jade) have gone, the better. What Moron votes for Labour anyway?
But that doesn't mean we need to turn on ourselves !
