Silsoe that's called banter..
All pilots need the p£ss taking out of them on a regular basis, every knows that..?
And why don't the cops you work with like being called cops..? Are you sure about that. I think you'll find it's fine when it comes from another cop..
On a wider issue about Winsor, it affects far more "cops" than just those in air support. There are lots of other specialist posts, including covert surveillance which also don't meet the criteria for remaining on final pay grade. I gather the whole thing is going to arbitration this month. The problem is it could drag on way beyond the decision time for joining NPAS. It's difficult to project forward what might be on the table. I've tried to get updates from NPAS about what Mr Marshal is doing about it, however I'm met with the usual "were working on it".
