Sven62, I take your point re 2nds but the rearcrew plot is broken and every injury or personal problem just twists the knife - I have discovered in the past that the only way to get something changed in the military is by failing to achieve the task - then the career-minded take notice!
Maybe we should just admit defeat and go for the £70K, 8 shifts a month, no 2nds, nights spent at home if you live close enough, no Falklands, no threat of SH plus extra cash if the shift plot changes - which appears to be the tragic lot of the MCA crews
