Standards for fitness must be maintained and just because the RAF spends 18 months training engineers they cannot set a precedent by keeping them in.

Can't imagine any unscrupulous people working a ticket like this can you?"


Well, that shows how long ago I left and how synical I have not yet become! I didnt think that way, but I suppose it will be done, by someone.

FYI a decent LAE with types is on £45K-£60K living in his own flat/house and driving a decent car with a steady bonk in tow.
He probably has share options, a decent pension, travel discounts and is able to plan his life for quite some months ahead. He possibly plays a decent game of Golf and/or goes to most of his teams matches. In his normal working day the most hassle he has is with security "staff" and their latest dreamed-up method of searching for nail clippers.

And you want to tempt him away from that ...with...erm, what?
