C130 geezer I fear that you have misunderstood me! I am not in favour of all aircrew getting same basic rate, Pilots should get more than Aeo's and more than nockers but was refering to flying pay.
The Stick jockeys at the front could be on x ammount for being A officers and B Pilots followed by a standard flying pay rate, Your Wsop down the back could be on his x ammount for being a Sgt And Wsop along with the SAME Flying rate as the pilot.
This Way you could still lord it up about your superior monetary worth but be on an equal footing for additional pay.
Does anyone know if Submariners pay rates vary between Commisioned and none Commisioned? Or Parachute pay or Special forces pay?
