Push to Shock
Loads of respect for the HEMS Paramedics. . .In answer to your query concerning flying pay, you seem to hold the common belief that flying pay is danger money - it is not (although it may once have been), these days it is described as "recruitment and retention pay" and the RAF is becoming quite subtle in how they apply it. For example, I seem to remember a plan to pay Navs more than pilots initially (as they are more difficult to recruit) and then for pilots to catch up and overtake later on (as they are more difficult to retain). Not sure if this ever came to fruitition though.
