so hawker, you're still so much upset with the contract change 3 years ago that you can only see the negative side of the company? You make it sound like there might be a next change for the worse any day now...
People who join on an 18-day contract know what they are getting into, and it is not that bad! You claim that everyone has been working 6-3 during summer. Fact is that everyone has been working 18 days and many have volunteered to work up to 21 days.
I don't know what's dodgy about the Cayman Islands. Many corporate aircraft are registered there. The payment of salaries comply with IOM tax law, but individual pilots got into trouble over claiming to have paid tax in the IOM,to avoid taxation at home. Their pay slips clearly state monthy gross salary... Where did the company go wrong there?
Nobody has said all is perfect at NetJets. At the end of the day it is work and management have to run a business. But if you're looking for great colleagues, a reasonable deal and more variety than you could ever imagine, it is the place to go.
