Ok this is for free.....Peterprobe,this is just for YOUR mates.......
If the ex-mil guys with their mil pensions would hold out for more or say they won't accept that sort of pay for Hems, then Hems would have to pay more benefiting everyone who flies EMS......I know it's a charity run thing, but they could afford more....Simple really........
And before we start, No, I do not fly Hems so it is not personal, no I do not want to fly for the military nor wished I had,yes I thank them for going abroad and risking their lives as I wouldn't for this Government (unless someone invaded the UK)!!! Yes, I do know ex-mil guys who accepted the lower wages saying that their pensions topped up their pay...I just feel for the civvie guys who are paid less because of the ex mil who keep the wages lower....
Tell them that and then Duck under the table....................
Cheers............
