Thanks for that.
In your post (even after editing) you are effectively 'warning off' anyone thinking of working as a pilot in the Met Can you please explain what makes pilots such an exception?
There are 1,000s of 'civvies' supporting the police & doing their bit to protect & serve - including volunteers who don't even get paid. And they actually come in direct personal contact with those who you cause you such concern that you feel it necessary to be warning off anyone thinking of working for the police. AND they don't have the luxury of sitting 1,000' above all the muck, bullets and petrol bombs - they actually face physical dangers everytime they go out onto the streets.
I have to agree with R1Tamer - best you stick to the commercial side of aviation as you are unlikely to meet anyone there who is going to cause you to lose sleep (NOT).
I hope you've told the Met to poke their job!
