I think the salary is fair
Each to their own, however the salary range quoted is easily achievable in England for ADC/APP alone, so why go to the nether regions to do the same thing for "preferably APS as well" (allowances or not)?
The facts are that you'll be based somewhere which is probably as expensive, not to buy a property, but certainly as most of the South of England to live and then be expected to up roots and hold a dual validation to travel at few days notice to exercise the privilages of that (talking of which, I understood that SRG would only approve such dual validations for the purposes of leave relief - up to 6 months doesnt cover that remit).
Recently HIAL were offering salaries in excess of £60k for anyone with all 3 ratings.
This job even with just 2 has got to attract a starting salary of at least £50k (plus the allowances) and no one should accept anything less for the disruption and inconvenience the job would involve.
It seems that the new HIAL Manager ATS is putting his toe in the water to see if any of the dumb fish bite, lets hope there are plenty of crocs, gaitors and pirhanas around to stop him taking the piss.
