But let's stick with age old stereotypes eh? Frankly, I don't care what others think of me.
Luckily there's no demand for FJ pilots in civvy street, but lots for A330/Widebody Boeing/Global Express/BAe146 rated pilots, plus from the retention paperwork it seems they are the ones leaving.
I second your proposals, but, using your 'modern thinking', it seems like it's the ME pilots who need the 'special' payband, with the multi's guys also, with the notable exception of the Tonka pilots, doing most of the op flying these days on top!
Besides, how expensive can property be in Lossiemouth?
