mmm, 3 days ago I got offered a job on £157k pa, I turned it down because it didn't interest me(ex TG17 SNCO), times have changed Bob. The law of supply and demand applies, if you've got niche in demand skills/knowledge/experience someone will pay handsomely for them. I imagine the RAF isn't going to hire more than 50 pilots this year and the RAF will have a pile of applicants to pick from, if you want to fly do so, if you want to earn a pile of cash you are in the wrong job.
