Future Hunter:
spend your whole career if you wish just flying
You clearly have not been in long enough to know how many ground jobs are manned by NCA and not all are a welcome respite from the front line. I have done 2 tours on the ground, one was unexpected but quite nice and the other a nightmare. ....and that is despite being highly qualified in my airbourne role with Q ticks numerous and an A2 certificate hidden somewhere. In short, it was a sh*** job but somebody had to do it, and that person had to be NCA.
