Who wants to bet that it's been delayed due to 'recent events' and they don't want to look like massive hypocrites by simultaneously praising the various security forces and also giving them a pay rise that's below inflation (i.e. a real terms pay cut) and also way below what accommodation costs etc will rise by!

The Armed Forces Covenant is a promise from the nation that those who serve or have served in the armed forces, and their families, are treated fairly.

Hmmmm...Let's see....I do not think that HM Gov can foresee ANY likelyhood that HM Armed Forces will become involved in a manpower-critical conflict within say, the next ten years 
. To that end, they are quite content to see manpower levels -25%. Overstretch is simply a cost saving. Sorry!

20 things I've learned since becoming an air traffic controller
"Zero stress and an £80,000 salary: 20 things I've learned since becoming an air traffic controller"
It's not just aircrew who could look at higher paid jobs...saw this in the torygraph today, I assume contents to be taken with a pinch of salt but indicates the salaries available to other branches and trades outside the RAF.

I have no idea what the current 'move across' might be, though. And there's no direct licencing read-across for operational ATCOs, to a very fifferent environment. So they would not only have to paas the civil training, buy also unlearn a lot of their past experience. ISTR that NATS wasn't very keen on ex-Mil ATCOs in the past.
MOD updated us with developments related to the impact of cuts imposed by the 2010 Strategic Defence and Security Review (SDSR) on RRP. The cuts mean that when an individual applies voluntarily to terminate their service, entitlement to all forms of RRP ceases from the date of their application being approved. In our view, this policy seems unjustified for certain groups such as submariners who will still be required to be at sea after having given notice. This issue continues to impact morale and retention negatively, particularly among those who have served a full career or are on career extensions, and are expected to serve this notice without receiving any RRP. We were disappointed to be told in evidence that there were no plans to further review the policy at this time; we believe this to be misconceived and wholly unjustified and it should be given further consideration.
As the idiots sowed, now shall they reap....
