If the bonus goes up, here's my prediction: Year 1: Max Money for Fighter Pilots and maybe Drone Pilots. Year 2: Max Money for Fighter Pilots, Drone Pilots and maybe everyone else. Year 3: Max Money for all Pilots when Fingers realizes "Oh shit, I'm out of pilots" and "I'm retiring in 6 months, I don't give a fuck"

The elements in the EU attempting to make this painful are cutting off their nose to spite their face. The attempt is transparent enough to see the whole point is the longer England deals with fallout painfully the more examples for pro-EU elements in countries like Denmark or France to use to hold by the trend of leaving. This isn't Latvia or some other tiny country amongst a list of countries that left, it's the 5th largest economy in the world and the 1st/2nd economy in Europe for 90% of the things you would want to export (tech/cars/etc). European politicians in Brussels seem to have forgotten they aren't the only Buffet table for the Brits to fill their plate at. If I was a business/industry CEO from an EU country I'd be making phone calls to the politicians of my country to remind them of that.... If I was same from outside the EU I'd be throwing everything I could at trying to pick up the market slack that things like punishment tariffs are going to cause. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

"I didn’t want to see my team of instructors leave for the Middle-East but it happened because we didn’t incentivise them to stay. Each one of these pilots cost over £4 million to train and when they left they gifted this training to a contractor to employ them overseas. It doesn’t seem a very good deal for the taxpayer or the Service." We run such a huge, increasing debt that it's not surprising "we" don't get it...but, it really is just that simple. Sad story... "Train people well enough so they can leave, treat them well enough so they don't want to.’ - Richard Branson, Virgin" I have always thought that statement was brilliant. Hope you all are having a nice weekend. (Go Mark Hunt!) Bendy

" My desire to stay in the cockpit meant that further promotion passed me by like a ship in the night but I am not bitter. As I approach 18 years of service I have only worn the shackles of a desk job once - in the job I am currently in and even now I still hold a cockpit for a couple of weeks of the month" What a novel idea...

No it isn't. The EU will make a show of telling off the UK, realize that 17% of Europe's economy walking out the door is a bad thing and then invite them to take a deal similar to Norway's. The UK will then gladly accept that deal.

I'm pretty sure the question of whether or not a state could leave the union was answered in 1865.

To get your security clearance processed quicker, you should send a copy directly to the Chinese embassy. They can/will get it from the OPM, but it's faster to cut out the middle man.
