just the driver the majority of us in this role have a decent(ish) military pension.
Hmmm......interesting question springs forth, I wonder what percentage of police pilots are in fact ex military and out of that figure, how many actually do have a pension.
Do ex military crews prefer the role of the police because of similarities to a role performed in NI or is it the clear predictable regularity of shift patterns affording some kind of home life?
I know of one gentleman [term used in the loosest of senses] who moved into the police role specifically for the lifestyle and the pay was for him a secondary issue only.
Personally, I dislike dangling from a specified length of rope and relish my freedom as well as variety so feel unsuited for such a role. I'd be interested to hear opinions.
Best Wishes
