Don't think that's true Mike. When I was at RAE in the late eighties/early nineties as a sqn ldr nav in a non-flying appointment, I was charged out at a six figure sum per annum. I seem to remember that the rate for a TP was about two and a half times my rate. (I'm sure the actual figures must be commercial in confidence.)
