I think that all those flying Typhoon should get half flying pay. Typhoon's a great jet, you volunteered for it and could have said no. Only fair that those on the best aircraft tighten their belts a little.

If you work on the C-17, because it's newer than C-130, VC-10 and Tristar you should get no Home To Duty and if you live on the patch you should pay twice as much as everyone else. C-17 is a good deal and you had a choice.

After all - flying pay, HTD and MQ charges have all changed as per LOA and are therefore fair game.

Yes. Having thought it through all pay, allowances and retention bonuses should be settled on a case by case basis - by someone who thinks his life is worse than yours.
