DA 50 driver; you are exempt.........
The original post was aimed at specific persons, and certainly not at you, or any of your bretheren.
You do raise an interesting point, and that relates to the UK/EU SS contribution that "might" be deducted from your EU/UK salary, if you are being paid and thus employed by this corporate entity.
I work on a similar basis but paid in US$, so see the bad side of the currency rate, as my life is based on stg and euros.
However I suspect I would not be welcome in the US as a contract pilot.
What are your feelings.
