I dont usually comment on these threads, it not really being any of my business, but I do feel moved to make comment on one point made by FingerFlyer
As someone who has been to the frontline in Afghanistan, all be it above it, and been shot at, the idea that you could use this as a reason to slate RY pilots as 'not working' is ridiculous.
I volunteer to do what I do. I would never expect my colleagues in the civilian world to somehow feel that they must work harder and longer, and except poor T+C's out of 'guilt'.
Irrespective of what outfit we work for, we are all aviation professionals, and good luck to RPG if it means maintaining the status and standards of that profession.
