I have not lied in any posts and I take offence when I point out the obvious which is called bullocks.
Well, lets test that shall we?

DAA charge 55 944/yr for grades 1 and up. After grade 6 the company contrubution tops out at 50k, so the shortfall would be just over 5. So IF he had two kids between grades 1 and 6 simultaniously, he would be up for 23944 each, for the couple of years until one went to secondary school. So IF this was the senerio, and IF he was an FO the entire time, and IF he only earned base salary (so I guess he isn't flying for three years), he would indeed be up for slightly over two months salary for a maximum of three years, so lets round that up to three months shall we?

No you didn't lie.

Neither did Tony Blair.

What you did do was look for the absolute worst case senario and paint it as the norm.
