Knowing one of the pilots well - at the Met unit, can I ask (out of curiosity) what will happen to the pilots pay scale as I understand the Met pilots get £85k+ each (or more) and the NPAS pilots get around £50k??
Also, will the 3 x 145 helicopters be replaced by 2 x 135 helicopters?
And finally - will NPAS dictate operations at the Met or will they retain autonomy?
