"when you are asked and not told to cover another shift coz someones ill, guess what they even pay you....LOTS."

You can't be going to Bond then

A SASless says there is no such thing as job security in our business. Lose the contract and you may lose your job as has happened quite recently in CHC. Same applies if you lose your medical - it is not like the forces where you may find a job in the RCC etc - it is thank you (if you are lucky) and bye bye.

From your profile I assume you are not a pilot so your pay will probably be more than rearcrew in the RAF - but remember you will have to fund your own pension out of your pay and the taxman loves taxing any perk such as BUPA or LOL. The Irish taxman is particularly avaricious
