Spot on my Beery friend !!
Even the " lure " of a command would not draw the most bitter KA pilot to HKA/HKE, I mean, why the hell would you take a 50K a month pay cut to come to the land of broken promises and crap pay

Even a DEC would be looking at a substantial pay cut, not too mention the distinct lack of annual leave, sick leave, bonuses, staff travel, education allowance, etc etc etc
