Mdip..............I'll bite, most of us don't get flying pay, the only extra money we get is LSSA/B GYHD etc etc an admission like yours
As I sit in my Office working 8-5 getting a full whack of flying pay
deserves utter contempt. It merely re-enforces my opinion that there are too many people in the RAF who just polish chairs and take the money.
I believe it is a rotten deal when compared against the "brave firemen" it was the military who once again bailed out a government who had messed up pay negotiations (I know the argument about employers negotiating but it's the treasury who hold the purse strings), not to mention the Iraq fiasco, where it now seems many good people lost their live under false pretences.
The only thing I am grateful for is I'm not a teacher as their pay is set to be cut in the next two years.
Having checked my pay packet from jan 02 I find that my take home pay has risen by just short of £35 I can't imagine where it all goes.
