PAN: Ahh bless them (the MET) for finally joining the real world (or being dragged into it by the NPAS finally). First the Chief Pilot and then his replacement (both earning in excess of £100,000/annum) have resigned since they saw the writing on the wall. All the aircrews "Principle" civil service pensions will have to go. All their 145's are going. Their debilitating UEO has finally been put in his place and circumvented..............................no wonder they are still sulking.
NPAS has almost finished its first round of herding the strays into the coral and once it successfully manages this latest (and last) round of cutbacks - it can settle down and crack on with the job in hand - which is to run a national police air wing on £50/month courtesy of our glorious leaders in Westminster. Belts suitably tightened and all that eh?
This (I say again) is not a VOTE winning service to the public. NO-ONE on the street doing a normal days' work - CARES.
