I´m with you on that, BUT being self employed has certain advantages and dis-advantages. Can´t have your cake and eat it too. For regular contracts I guess we are there. I don´t see the big difference between a dude, say, breaking a leg and thus being terminated on medical grounds as a contractor and a pregnant woman who is unfit to fly on medical grounds.
