Tuesday is D Day, got a feeling alot of my trade will be axed as well as most others, what are everyones thoughts?
I would do, but I failed the medical... they X-rayed my back and found that I had 33 vertebrae!
The resettlement grant is the gratuity you are thinking of so yes it is included.
Just filled in the redundancy calculator, does that payment include the gratuity payment you'd usually get when leaving the raf at the 12 year point?

Or have I read it wrong??
Spot on!!!!! SCP and RG are separate.
It was also confirmed late on when we checked with Air Cmd and we were told we could publish to our intranet. Hence my willingness to wager my life!!
Nice one..
Thanks
Should the exit date read 01/03/2012?
I think it is 29/02/2012
Up to 439, including 170 in the flying training pipeline.
I'm not being funny but 120 Mech Sgts is a huge figure compared to the others.
Why hammer us so hard but not the other TG1 Sgts as much?
It's not even that I mind the work so much. The hard bit will be telling Mrs NAT that we're not going to get a huge pay-off, an early pension and the right to exude a sense of bitterness.
I wonder if promotion will improve in the decade and a half I've got left...?
Sadly it is not the clean slice off the side of the triangle.
No Flt Sgt's or WO's in TG1, I can see a lot of bod's who either miss out or dont qualify hitting the PVR button.
Big oppurtunity to clean house has slipped by all I see in the future is experience and knowledge gaps, with SNCO's clogging up the system just like the mid 90's.
Because there's too many of you. You only have to look at the problems we are having manning up the new Depth Org at Cottesmore. Far too many Mech SNCOs and not enough fairies.
