On all fours? I’m completely lost here, what do you mean by that?
I have contempt for the IFoA for many reasons and I agree that the Indian students had an unfair advantage. But the magnitude of that advantage and the effect it has had on your lives is being blown way out of proportion, describing your hearts bleeding with all that pain and anguish. Come on.
If the pay day you’re chasing only allows for the potential for lost income, then then the compensation formula paramaterised properly would produce a four figure sum at best. The likelihood is that if you failed an exam in April, more than likely you would have failed the exam in May also, And for me, a measly four figure sum like that given the hassle in pursuing it wouldn’t chalk my cue at all. I doubt that would butter anybody’s parsnips.
Unless of course the emotional hurt was so great, the psychological trauma that was apparently endured could serve to swindle a bonanza out of the IFoA. The exaggerated impact is a disgraceful attempt to maximize the emotional damage attributed to begrudging actuaries of one particular nationality having an unfair advantage over all others. The kind of payouts you naively said earlier do not exist. The reality is if this payout is granted, the IFoA will hike up the fees and other actuaries will end up paying. The cowboys at the IFoA won’t suffer that’s for sure!
Personally, I take pride in my money being legit stemming from hard work, but that’s just me
