    Self employed but introduce customers for now just one company. I made then around £300,000 a year less £54k, my cut. Goal posts changed and although i still make them around £200k I receive much less of a percentage. Bottom line is that I work now part time and I am concentrating on other income streams.

    I apologise too, I over-reacted there. Probably for a cheap laugh too, as usual.

    I have to say that I don't really work at the clinical coalface and haven't for a couple of years now. I would say that the NHS has taken quite big strides towards reporting errors, teams being better at incident reporting and I think that a health care assistant would get support if they wanted to question a consultant, which probably wouldn't have happened twenty years ago.

    I imagine, from what you're describing, that the NHS is probably light years behind the aviation industry. And I'm still not sure what HF is, sorry!

    My money is on mbga9pgf working with a refuelling air tanker in some capacity.

    We are a persistent lot you know, we will guess it in the end :)

    That would be my guess too.....

    Although not as a pilot, despite the sprinkling of references to cockpit resource management and the like.

    After viewing the multitude of frankly rabid posts both here and on hpc, it's safe to say he doesn't have the temperament for it.:rolleyes:

    As we own our own business, we take all the profits when we are flying high.....and all the losses if we f***k up.

    Oh goodness no.....

    But even doing that based in Aberdeen would be better than choking on JP-8 fumes in the back of a scabby old VC 10 or Tri-Star based out of Brize Norton....;)

    Although their dual use as medevac aircraft would also explain your previous familiarity with medical terms.

    I'm guessing loadmaster..... or wso/flight engineer at a stretch.

    wrong on both counts!

    Do you shout at the sooties then for not putting the engines on the right way round?

    I would love aberdeen, far too close to elgin though for my liking. And I dont have the deep-fried mars bar eating or whisky habit to live there. Nice for the skiing though. Been to you neck of the woods fairly regularly, even been up to wick!

  • Used to make them gross profit of £250k per annum on a salary of circa £30k.

    Net profit from me was cira £190-£200k.

    Now I will not work for anyone else again.

    If I make £1 I will have it all not just the 15% cut of it.

    I don't make any money for the people I work for. I do increase the knowledge pool. :)
