Widger,
I guess from your post that you believe Flying Pay will not survive. You're wrong; it's very simple, if you want someone to do 3-4 years training just to get to the front line, followed by a myraid of other courses to increase their effectiveness as instructors (etc) then you will have to pay them extra. Either that or cut the pay of those who don't do these kind of courses.
Of course, if I have mis-construed your post I wait with baited breath for clarification.
