John - I do humbly bow to your points but....
As I alluded to I think the arrogance (possibly of RAF) in sneering that we can do less hours as they so much better utilised than yours is, IMNVHO, arrogant.
Our allies in NATO all commit to this requirement and we need to put up or resign.
If I was to take a trip to the Loop I really would rather know the chimp driving the pointy thing at me had done more than two hours flying a week.
2 hours a week - thats 5% of your working week in the air. And you bleat that you're nnot over paid
(I am taking the michael here, but I think you will agree with me you need to be spending more time pulling G, hovering, bombing, shooting down russians, etc etc etc.
So stop playing with JPA, don't go on your LBGT trg and find a jet.
