Well said VinRouge. For a second I thought I was on the Biz jet forum, not the military forum. Perhaps this is a bit simplistic or old fashioned, but surely if you're after more cash, join an airline, work in the city or just leave, you may not get paid the same as some people with the same skills outside (not all of them are on pop star wages) but you do get more than most, for doing a job that lots can only dream of doing.
