If so look out for any by-elections in the future, I seem to recall one can leave immediately if one stands for election to the HoP. It would also be tremendously amusing to have a list of candidates that consisted almost entirely of disgruntled aircrew.
There's always the danger one could be elected of course, but I hear the pay and allowances aren't too bad.
WW, this was a ploy last time there was a pull-push-pull, and it worked a treat. I don't know the details but I think they managed a weasel-worded get-out-of-jail card. Something along the lines that you had to be elected . . .
