Good post Low Life (not quite the post name i would use for someone whos sounds quie intelligent)

But how much more dosh could we expect if we do all end up as qualified operations officers? ...My guv would have 50000 fits if he had to pay another dollar

I would be intrested on what you guys think should be a fair wage for a UK qualified ops geezer / geezer bird for all the sh!t we put up with espically during the nights working on your own getting grief from some toss pot captain sitting on some beech in the caribbean with his f*****g pina colada in his hand wanting to gripe over his return flight plans - life sucks at times!!
Any takers on the wage issue?
