To answer several questions and moans here goes:
I am a blunty so what?
Who do you think is in the chain of events that get you airborne, every trade has a part to play however small, you wouldn't get very far without food, fuel and imagine, god forbid, you didn't get paid so don't get on to me about being a 'blunty'
I am not 'green eyed' but am asking a valid point
So far I have seen no reasonable argument for this practice apart from 'we are owed it', isn't everyone owed the same financial equivalent then?
Are these civilians insured and authorized to fly in military aircraft and who actually auths it?
Do you really think that if it wasn't aircrew then this would actually be allowed?
As I have a PPL can I use an RAF aircraft to get my civ quals? No didn't think so....(yes I know i'm not an RAF pilot but I suppose technically I am more qualified actually having a PPL)
Me me me is all I have heard so far and some on here need to grow up.
