Dunc Good point, well made. No idea. Not many I would guess but none should and the scheme shouldn't be going up that far. It's the armed forces for God's sake, you keep guys who are above 40 and are in senior ranks if they are good in the management role, not to be pilots, and certainly not if you're axing loads of young guys who are the future.
My point about pilots in their 30s providing the experience that is obviously needed is surely right though, as is the point that keeping guys in who are in their 40s is just turning promotion into dead man's boots and making the guys in their 30s, who you surely dont want to lose, decide enough is enough.
High spirits. This is not RAF bashing. I told you in my earlier post, which you seemed at the time to accept. The army was never in the FRI extension that is currently in place - that's in the document - and the RN have pulled out, that is not me saying it, it is confirmed by the MoD.

Mick, the army and RN were in the FRI, just not the doc that you have seen which is the most up to date one. There was also an FRI for AH QHIs aswell. All 3 Services signed up to the FRI from 2010 to 2013. What has happened since is that the Army and RN have retained enough personnel to get rid of the offer.

Pension for 38 year old leaving at 16 year point is approx £800 per month. FRI is not £58,000, it is £50,500 because of 50p tax bracket. That equals £10,000 per year, or you've guessed it £800 per month.
I got £58,500 when they paid it into my bank account, must have been lucky enough to miss out on the 50p tax bracket? I am staying for the time being, but will be gone quick smart at the end of my 5years.....had enough.

Wokka,
Yep, the greedy robbin' b@stard of a tax man taketh away more. Somehow it doesn't look quite as attractive as the daily guff made it out to be...It may pay for a licence though!!
