Seldomfitforpurpose,
You're right of course as you are aircrew.
My hope is to keep non-aircrew out of this discussion and not to bite. I hope flg pay is (amongst other reasons) a retention or specialist payment for those who actually fly and deserve it - PVR or fly a desk and loose some of it. Only fair?
Same could be said about any specialist payment such as the bomb disposal payment just introduced. Fancy a bit of that?
Move the stick left and the aeroplane rolls left...
