I'm a bit confused by this. As this is an aircrew forum, can I assume you are talking about aircrew? So a senior Flt Lt (31-32 years old) earns £46,500 and with top rate flying pay (not been around long enough for enhanced) earns £60-61000. A top rate WO (age....?) earns £48,000 and about half the flying pay? (Unless I'm wrong?) I might have made a mistake here and got confused with pilots/ crewmen/AAC pilots but the comparison is a bit silly as doesn't come close to comparing like for like. Guys that get off the ground get classed as aircrew but there is a huge difference within that grouping. I once heard an arguement (lasted about 30 seconds) that crewmen should get the same flying pay as a pilot. Ridiculous!
