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.
Are you suggesting the give a flying **** now? My experience is quite the opposite when it comes to spouses, you joined up not them so why should the RAF give a toss? It seems to have been the way my wife and I have been treated over the last 5 or 6 years.
