If you want "normal" pay then go to AirServ - with MAF they pay you a country rate eg: Tanzania and expect you to raise support because they are a registered charity - if your support goes under or over what you are paid it makes no difference to your "salary" whcih includes housing and access to transport like landrover etc. Also they look after your pension etc in UK. With AirServ it is more like normal salaried postion. Flying Mission Services are going that route as well.
