I'm just doing some personal research into Armed Forces Pay and cannot seem to find any info on current pay scales for Air Ranks. The only information I can find is the 2010-2011 pay scales up to and including Air Cdr. Can anybody point me in the right direction please to finding the pay scales for the Air Ranks?

Many thanks.

here dribs, get yourself down the local AFCO and tell them you want to be an air commodore and they'll hand you out all the payscales you want.

Your really must use google - it's a great tool and lets you find out all sorts of stuf that's available on the interweb thingy.

Anyway, the main reason your limited research has only revealed pay rates up to air cdre is that that they are set by the Armed Forces Pay review Body. Whereas the ranks for more senior officers, and othr senior public servants, are reviewed by the, appropriately named, Senior Salaries Review Body. A copy of there latest report is at this link:


32nd Report on Senior Salaries - 2010

The rates you need to refer to are the 2009 rates as the Government did not accept the Body's recomendations and froze all senior public servants' pay - reported by the BBC here
 
Many thanks Climebear, was using Google but obviously not looking in the right places.

No, I'm not a journo, as stated I'm doing personal research...just intrigued as to how much money is being spent on the inordinate amount of high ranking officers within the Armed Forces in light of the recent government cutbacks.

Join the club mate! We've all been wondering the same thing!

Sounds like journo speak to me...

Anyway, as much as we might moan on here about Jock's salary/retired pay try comparing it with that of a private sector CEO who heads up a multinational company employing 250000+ people.

The key is we joined the Services though mate.

If it was all about the money I doubt any of us would have gone down to the AFCO in the first place.

I think some senior officers are vastly overpaid for what they do, and the fact there seems to be a plethora of said personnel in non-descript jobs.

The RAF in particular, seems to be run along the lines of some sort of quasi-corporation with 'managers' at the helm who couldn't resource a staff disco, let alone a complex multi-disciplinary organisation with international responsibilities.

Just because you've dirtied yourself by going over to the dark side, don't try pedalling that load of old cobblers on here.

Everyone above Group Captain is vastly overpaid, and probably not much use anyway.

Want to save money in the RAF, sack the lot, and you've got your 25% cut right there.

Been drinking too much pimms TBJ. Sir Jock is no more than a figurehead who seems to be confused over his identity lately as he is wearing a funny beret and stable belt. Private sector CEOs are rewarded with a wage plus bonuses for delivering profit based on success. Chief of Defence is no more than the political face of Armed Forces. All of them seem to be more interested in gaining a comfy seat in the Lords, than delivering a sustainable future for the Services.

And so it flows down. Why is it that whenever you get an AOC visiting and he/she faces some gladatorial arena in, for example, the old folks home, all they do firstly is spout the party line and secondly when pressed about various points of Service policy and what's right and wrong etc, they say that they cannot change things? No use, get rid IMO.
 
Never before has one of my posts (with the exception of fight club threads) provoked such a response!

Everyone makes valid points: the RAF is top heavy; there are a lot of people in senior ranks (and more than a few in lower echelons) who seem to do little to justify their existence and I have acquired a taste for Pimms. However, I would still argue that CDS does a more important job than, say, Wille Walsh yet - despite presiding over £1Bn losses in 2 years - Willie's salary makes Jock's look like small change.
