I'm glad to see that BALPA is doing more for the guys. Immeditely post 9/11, they were seriously lacking in help, just leaving most of the work to be done by the VACC.
I think the 'Scouts' reference is about the RAF. Although I have to admit that I didn't quite make the connection immediately - as the main difference between the Scouts and the RAF is that the Scouts are run by grown ups!
