AFPRB 2019
The figures in this years report for 2018 are 0.9% lower than was published & "recommended" last year, so we only actually get 2% above last year, the extra 0.9% - we've already had!!!!!
(See what I said above #29, at least better than my predicted 1.5%!!)
I'm leaving at the end of Aug, so at least now I get an additional small paypacket at the end of Sept , when I get my backdated pay!!!
So yet again we are below:
Police 2.5%
Teachers 2.75%
Medics 2.5%
(Unless they too have smoke & mirrors in effect)

I really hope that you are not leaving the Service on the Fake News you have just espoused??

I’m not sure of your logic there fella? It was 2% last year in 2018 with a 0.9% ‘bonus’ - which was the same as, for example, the Police, but they did not get a 0.9% ‘bonus’ payment on top. This year, 2019, we get 2.9% (no bonus, so all pensionable) and that is still better than the Police who get 2.5%, medics who get 2.5% and teachers who get 2.75% this year?

I think I get the point being made above.
i). In an ideal world where the previous year's 0.9% was part of core pay rise our 2019 pay would be: 100x1.029x1.029=105.8841
ii). Since the 0.9% was a bonus, our 2019 pay is a 2.9% increase on the sum before bonus: 100x1.02x1.029=104.958
iii). Rearranging the maths, given we did get paid 2.9% extra last year (as a one-off), you could look at it that we got: 100x1.029x1.02=104.958
.
I'm sure there's someone with actual knowledge who will prove me wrong, I'm a simple pilot and can just about cope with this maths whilst keeping my socks on.
As far as I understand it, I get paid more this year year than I did last year but not as much more as would have been the case if the 2018 AFPRB recommendation had been fully accepted.
Do I feel that there was a bit of smoke & mirror action going on last year? Yes.
Does it look the the AFPRB have picked up on this and made some fairly pointed comments? Absolutely!
(And don't worry, I'm not missing the point that the Police got 100x1.02x1.025 = less than we did.)

'scuse my ignorance but I was living under a figurative rock between 2012 and '19. I'm back in on the PA spine but I'm just curious as to how the new tier 1/2 & rate 1 - 7 flying pay works vs. the old initial/middle/top/enhanced rates.
Get on MODnet and look for 2017DIN01-050 for more details.
Unless you spend, say, 3 or so years total holding in the training system.... But that would never happen!
If you are on Defence Connect on the Defence Gateway then you can find the DINs posted on there - try the RAF Diaspora site or “The Crew Room” as I’m pretty sure both are hosting the info.
It would need to be 7 years plus prior to OCU completion for that to affect - but you can always ask Career Management to move your EDP Option by a few months if required?
