I have nothing against pilots, I just wouldn't let my daughter marry one.
In fact I have nothing against people who wish to PVR but if you break your contract with the RAF, then you loose your flying pay. That's the deal so stop bleating about it. You could of course always stay in. Your choice.
I am also in favour of education, (even for women) but sometimes, the comments I have read from supposedly "educated" people on these pages leave me cold.
Pilots , no problem with them, known some good ones, and some bad, just like the rest of the livestock inhabiting the RAF. I am sure those Fighter Controller friends of mine will confirm that Pilots are in fact a manual guidance for long range weapon systems. Now IF they had brains, they would be safe on the ground at the radar CRC passing commands to the fools in the aircraft.
And by the way Baque Flip, I do know what I am talking about, and I will be as rude as I like to people like you.
