There are a lot and I mean a lot of people balancing on the cliff edge of major decisions at the moment. If they removed flying pay this hitting the most experienced hardest they would all just leave.... End of. We may not be aloud to strike but 50% of aircrew in the RAF hitting PVR would have an even bigger effect. Plus they would have to stop all flying as the Flight Safety implication of having such a large number of upset people would be huge. I'd place money on a flying pay increase in about 2 years or at least another round of FRI's. Now stick that in your blunt pipe and smoke it! :-)
