*IF* this is true, it just pushes me (thankfully) further away from any chance i've got of being in the bracket!

Great. As if 12 or 18 months (from 01 Mar 11) wasn't short enough notice to leave now we'll have even less.

And you can't register for your entitled (2 year) resettlement until you have a confirmed exit date...

Awaiting Ministerial Approval, I understand...

Craven (of Min AF) is what I think.

If true, you would think that Ministerial approval would have been sought sooner than 11 minutes to 5 on the day before thousands are expecting the news.

Maybe the bad news day evaporated with the RAF, SF & Royal Navy doing a sterling job in the Med. Cynical bastards.....

Green guidance news will be out in April before firm details and invitations to volunteer and 'Brown Letters' in the first weeks of May.

The best answer would be for MB to get it sorted so that all 3 Services announced on the same date to show sort element of organisation and forethought...

Is this delay just for the RAF?
It would make sense to push all redundancies under the Ministers nose at once [but how much of what is happening right now makes sense], so I am unsure on a decision basis.

However, the cackhanded execution and handling of the matter is entirely an RAF project.

I wonder what the real reasoning behind all this is, i mean they have known for months the date, must be something pretty big to make them pull it at the 11th hour...? maybe announcing that the UK are going to be part of an enforced no-fly zone the day before announcing cutting lots of military jobs would be bad PR...or maybe the govt just dont really have a clue..

If this is true, I can see many people really hacked off if they were keen to take the money and go. Perhaps PVR rates will go up now.

Yes. RAF redundancy fields were to be released 1 March.

Morale has been low for a while due to all the uncertainty, this is taking it one level lower, especially with the TFN. There are lots of people wanting to know their future, they need to know and their families need to know, so get on with it and stick to your timelines. No wonder procurement is always late, they cant even get this in on time, its a shambles, and its from the top down

well the delay to telling the block 4 students their fate has just been cancelled, so they are finding out their fate tomorrow, seems that the powers that be got their sh*t in one sock, so maybe the redundancies will come out too now....? maybe?

It's still on track for 1 Mar: The RAF Redundancy Programme Announcement is embargoed until the Written Ministerial Statement is presented at 1430hrs.
