.the suggestion was that a senior pilot/crewmen WO would get more than a senior pilot Flt Lt which is barking.
I was a 'senior' PAS MACr and I got paid more than a senior (none PAS) Flt Lt. Worth every penny mind. .....and now reap the final salary pension based upon the same. Hopefully I will bank the pension for more years than the 37.1 that it took me to earn it.
