If you don’t like being an Officer, I’m sure we can get you all down to SACs.
Plus at the risk of being controversial, one of the first things the Treasury will ask is - so if pilots are so special, why are we spanking all this cash on unmanned? You told us they were the future.
I’m not in anyway dismissing the pilot - admirer VFM question, but you can see it’s not a straight forward pitch to those holding the purse strings.
