Humane Maverick - You will have to excuse TC, he is British and we enjoy nothing more than winding people up.!
The payscales are due to be released shortly but an informed source tells me that they will be:
Captains £73-£88K with 12 paypoint bands
Co-Pilots £53-£64K with 8 paypoint bands
Crewmen ££41-£52K with 12 paypoint bands.
There will be a commensurate reduction in these salaries for anyone joining who is in receipt of a British miltary pension and this will equate to about one third of the pension amount that they currently receive.
Paypoint entry levels (and seniority) will be determined using a 'factored' hour system with previous hours on UK military SAR counting as 1 whole hour, previous hours on UK Coastguard SAR counting as 0.5 of an hour and all other helicopter flying hours counting as 0.4 of an hour.
Hope this helps.
