bbx I'd got that far but I stand by my comments. There are far too many people in the RAF who " just sit in their office 8-5 and collect the money." If you re-read you will notice that I never mentioned Pilots/aircrew it was a general comment about the great many who do not do their share. I hope that the Army and RN are better off in that respect otherwise there is not much hope for the military in the UK. We will soon be so top heavy there will be an officer for each enlisted person.
The pay deal still stinks and I'm still glad I'm not a teacher or any other of the myriad of public servants this government appears to hate.
