I spent from Nov to Mar receiving £40 (roughly that, don't know exactly - it's not important) per day flying pay and did 0, yes, that's zero flying hours.
£5240 ish.
Cheers easy.
But I WAS grounded due to injury. Gained in an Op theatre.

Hrs vs pay is irrelevant. It's to do with our (mil) pay vs their (civvy) pay. If we didn't get paid the rates we do, few of us would have joined, fewer still would stay. Other trades get "bounties" too.
Now piss off out of here, take your business with you and stop being so bloody puerile.
