Gald to hear it is not just me who thinks this.
Flaps,. .suggest you conduct a bit more research into what SNCO Aircrew really do, it is not all lashing tape, especially on the Mighty Hunter!. .And as Bigley quite rightly says, we are the boys fishing you out of the drink (assuming from your post which quotes you have spent time at the sharp end, maybe whizzy jets? that you are a one of the two wingers), the Loadies are the guys making sure your valuable equipment arrives in theatre, the enigineers make sure you have enough fuel to let you tank across the pond!. . Looking at the ops board today, there is a crew deploying to Lajes to hold SAR for 14 Tonkas on Monday- ready to come to their rescue if they splash in the pond(too busy counting their dosh!). Just think about that next time you have to pop your PLB, then tell us we are not worthy of the same.
Biting like a good'n lately, but find this sort of attitude too much to leave quietly alone.. .MADS
p.s. you will never achieve that desired senior rank if you can't spell 'paid'- just ask your nearest SNCO for some assistance in spell checking!
