Mean anything to you muppets?

Why don't they just reduce everything by 25% and save 200 odd million in one fell swoop...then tinker with other allowances like IE and HTD....ah well not long to wait..

anyone lend me a fiver for my bus fare? DT_Xtremez_14:

It's just that it's very specific, don't you think?

 

[mild mannered janitor]

If I was in charge, I think I might increase personal contribution for HTD to say 3,6 and 9 miles staged over the next 3 years perhaps.

if that were the case I'm in SFA which i was put in 7.5 miles from work. if they want to bin HTD or increase the personal contribution then they can move me to the patch opposite camp. (and i ain't paying for it)

Maybe but as I haven't had sight of the report, I can't comment on how specific.

That's what I'm saying, there's lots of wild speculation on here, then you get that highly specific post..........just makes you think.

Well we are the RAFs premier unofficial rumour network after all. You'd almost expect rumours....from the wildly inaccurate to awesome lucky guess.

Yeah, and tomorrow he'll be on here saying, "I told you so", DT_Xtremez_30:

I've heard that all allowances will be increased by over 200 % in an effort to reduce the size of the RAF, when people leave coz they just have too much dosh!:S

Top Tip. Don't be buying a nice shiney BMW on back of your LOA even if you survive on the higher pay band!!!!

 

[chiprafp]

Please feel free to express rumours ladies and gents but if you have seen sight of the details keep it to yourselves as we dont want the site dissapearing because someone wanted to look important because they knew before others

Shiney BMW !!!

There's more S-Max's on the street than in a Ford production line!

Stay where you are Chip, if LSA is going to be higher than LOA, why come back!

 

[chiprafp]

Tempting mate but my head hurts a lot more here!

That was good advice even when times were better - I've seen many people suffer because of an unexpected change in the FFR and corresponding drop in LOA.

To align themselves more closely with civilian companies the RAF will no longer care where you live, or how you travel, but only that you get to work on time so HTD is scrapped in toto. Similarly where your kids go to school is of no interest to the company so boarding school allowance joins the Harrier in the history books. They also won't be bothered what your other half does for a job. Well this a rumour site and as Downsizer says some rumours could be widely inaccurate.

If that happens it will take up a good chunk of the 25%.

Couldn't agree more. If they don't have the SFA at the camp your posted to then you shouldn't be out of pocket.
Just because they wanted to flog a load of quarters when the market was good.

Alternative solution: I will be waiting outside my front door for MT every morning. DT_Xtremez_35:

According to HofC documents, amount paid by Annington Homes was £1,662m for some 57,000 properties, about £29,000 each. The proceeds from the sale of SFQ goes to Annington homes NOT the government.

Sorry for the correction but think it needs to be pointed out.

Saw a few muppets fall into that kind of trap before when they forked out on shiney new motors paid for by NI pay at a secert radar station south east of Belfast. Only to be posted back to the mainland lots of months before they where due tourex due to the place being shut suddenly.

The camp in question does have SFA. Some of it is walking distance from the camp gates, the mainstay is about 6 miles away, with one patch being around 7.5. Can't see how you could increase personal contribution fairly using this as an example, unless the camp (or similar camps) were given some sort of dispensation.
