Poor pay?

Why is it the helicopter industry in the UK insists on paying such low wages to Police helicopter pilots? Are the employers still relying on time served ex-millitary pilots who come to their new careers with some pension? I cannot believe that some Police observers(with some overtime) are paid more than the pilot. Surely they are the worst paid in the air industry? Maybe the pilots should make a more determined effort through their union? Its not difficult to see why so many move on from this type of work.
