BEags is right. Will Ascent not have a problem here in a few years' time? i.e. "Lt Bloggs leaves after 16 yrs, swaps his Culdrose RN pass for a Culdrose civvy pass, comes back to the same job the following Monday flying King Air but for £10,000pa less than last weeks salary (he's now got his £1000 per month pension to bridge the gap) and calls himself Mr Bloggs. Kids are in a local school, Mrs Bloggs has a steady job, mortgage is virtually paid off" - smashing.
When Bloggs doesn't want the job with Ascent, however, the job ad reads something like this, does it not?: "Wanted: Twin Turboprop qualified pilot with xxx hrs etc., in far-flung part of the country, in a base miles from anywhere, where a 1-bed pit sets you back £350,000. Pay grade is aimed at ex-military types with a pension to give them a descent quality of life - so if you've no such pension I hope you like living on baked beans and Wotsis".
Surely they're relying on a small number of ex-T2 and T3 (do they still exist?) to go civvy and stay on in same job/different uniform...
