Thought I'd just pop back in ..... thanks for those figures Mighty Gem
Am I correct in thinking that the various forces involved now pay NPAS
for the number of hours "budgeted" for, but they don't get any refund if those hours are not flown ?
If so then the figures are very revealing indeed ! ( Wonlt bire you with the Maths ).
I await similar reports from other "regions" ( especially one a bit closer to home ),
where I've heard that a LOT more is now being spent under NPAS
for the same number of "budgeted" hours, to see just how many hours are actually received !
Predicition : Next year each force will want to cut their budgets.
