RAAF pilots leaving
I think the words from the travelling roadshow were something like "It'll happen around April and October each year, but the system needs time to process it so maybe a couple of pays after that..."
Something like that - shouldn't be more than a month or 6 weeks, I'm guessing!?

Naked,
Nothing to do at all with aircraft type qualifications. King Air and Hornet pilots can qualify equally.
Purely those pilots without an initial pilot training based Return of Service Obligation (ROSO) who haven't taken the Military Super related 5 year retention benefit.
Some specially qualified ACO (Navigators) also qualify, not sure of the details though.

So its bonus or super 5 year benefit, not both? That doesnt make a lot of sense.
To help me catch up - 'a bonus that isnt targetted, but general in nature, ensuring it is sufficiently watered down and consumed by administration to cause little pause for thought during ones exit?'
How's that?

There was some info put out a couple of weeks ago saying that the timeline for payment would be about 2 pays after the due date. This is because a snapshot needed to be taken of eligible members ON April 1st.
Settle down everybody. You will get your money.

...........still waiting............maybe it was an April fools day joke.
On another matter, what happened to the mass exodus we were expecting? Still yet to see mass recruitment by the airlines.

Isn't it ironic
Quite ironic that the 'retention' benefit for aircrew is late!
But then again, we should probably give the pay system a break since this allowance was only known about from Oct09 so it is probably fair enough we will have to wait over a month to get anything (from 1Apr10)....
That green green grass is poking through the fence more and more each week

I heard a vicious rumour this was being looked at as part of the SRP savings. If you read the document in the PACMAN carefully, it allows them to change the amount of capability allowance even though the figures have been put out for the next two years eg. zero!
Not many people would be eligible anyway: you have to be out of ROSO and not have taken the MSBS retention benefit. It will just end up enriching all the old SQNLDRs and WGCDRs who were staying anyway.
Oh, and those laterals who came here with no ROSO, and jumped onto the highest pay increment as well.

Well they had better get cracking - even if it is only a 'keep the faith' bonus. I understand DP had a mini panic over a small number of recent resignations to go to VB.

Are all Airforce pilots entitled, or just fast jet?
The "exodus" is a myth. It is just using emotive language to describe the rise and fall of pilot numbers that has happened before and will happen again. Those who think the RAAF will suffer if you leave are deluded, there are plenty lining up to take your job when you leave.
The world will keep turning...

Congratulations Sand Dune, who are you going with? I put my apps in during Feb but haven't heard anything yet, how long did it take for them to contact you?
Got an email from DP regarding the $$$. It looks like it is on the way just a bit late.
Anyone else see the irony of taking the retention cash while applying for a job elsewhere?

Bump
Are there any laterals out there who were told by the roadshow folks that they would get the ACA, as the only ppl who wouldn't were those under 'Initial pilots course IMPS' (sic)?
Only to find that they were also excluded - by the Lateral IMPS?
If so - please PM
