    TG1 goodbye Chf Tech

    Are you not now creating a problem for FS that existed for Chf Tech? By retaining FS in non-TG1 trades you’ll have a position where ex-TG1 FS outrank non-TG1 FS? Rebadge Chiefs to FS by all means, but keep current FS as FS.

    TG1 goodbye Chf Tech

    I think that 4ADs gripe is that most of what you’ve said applies to TG4 as well. CPO is OR7 so id be telling them to get f###ed if that was the case.

    TG1 Retention again

    That’s great if your OH doesn’t work. My wife has a career of her own; we would love to do the States/mainland Europe, but the financials (we have a mortgage) and her career setback (3 years out) simply wouldn’t make it worthwhile. Plus I have less than two years until EDP so it’s too late for...

    TG1 Retention again

    Would be a lot of work/fluff for it to be rejected now.

    Acting Ranks

    Themes/trends do come and go (STEM, D&I, etc), but the core requirement is evidence of leadership and management. Whichever ‘flavour’ it takes is irrelevant. I would argue that the main PSB is somewhat of a lottery (try coming up with a number to two decimal places for a candidate again and...

    Acting Ranks

    Never had acting and it didn’t stop me getting picked up. In fact, I’ve sat on PSBs where acting rank added zero value to the write ups and the individual scored poorly.

    Fill your boots, Reddit, ARRSE, egoat. Similar vibes.

    £35k for TG4? Where’s that been announced?

    TG1 Retention again

    Yes TG4 AS1 super board was mentioned at the recent conference. 48 Sgt-FS off the last TG4 board with a couple of months yet to push until the next PSB sits. I haven’t seen the numbers this high before. People are hitting EDP and going. They need to sort out pay. I could double my salary in...

    TG1 Retention again

    Annual stats are due out any time now. Will make for interesting reading. My trade OR7 ET rate is over double the RAF average. As soon as people hit EDP they are gone; that’s if they even wait that long. For me, pay could fix this. The problem for the MOD is that they don’t have enough to keep...

    Is the presentation available anywhere? What are ET rates currently?

    TG1 Retention again

    In the modern RAF, without QCIT/H&S there is no engineering.

    McCloud date 1 October

    Agreed. Doing the exact same job as a Flt Lt on my team, yet those up on high always look at my rank before deciding whether to listen. Lack of barcode rank = not taken seriously (despite being a SME). Two years to push… Pay rise is better than nothing but the job satisfaction was greater as a Sgt.

    McCloud date 1 October

    FS and CT paid the same other than supp levels (OR7). Am I missing something here? I would agree that DERR/trade pay no longer bridges the gap. Apparently it’s in review at the moment.

    Increase in Trade pay? Are you referring to DERR?

    FRI Inbound

    If true, that’s staggering. Suspect things will get worse more broadly in just over two years, when the first lot of the AFPS05/15 joiners start to reach their 20/40 EDP point. Many will leave immediately with probably 3-4 years of those who are ‘pension trapped’ at most.

    Pay Rise Thoughts?

    Ah right, so the WOs who shout a lot about periphery issues on twitter then? And not your ‘usual’ WO posts who manage at the coalface? Any info on this available anywhere?

    Pay Rise Thoughts?

    Sorry CK, lost you there. Can you elaborate on the WO issue?

    Pay Rise Thoughts?

    I’m expecting 3%; 2% pensionable and a 1% lump sum ‘in line with the spirit of the recommendations’. Meanwhile, people who can, are ET‘ing left right and centre. I have 3 years to push - I enjoy the job, but am fed up of being treated with contempt by the politicians when it comes to pay...
