Age Discrimination
True Andy, even I worked it out - years of Telegraph crosswords I think!!!! As a matter of interest Scotia are employing 60yr+ contractors as I type. £450 a day but with 1 week's notice. I've been a short term contractor for 18 months now. How short term is that? You can boost that by 8.5% in the first year by forming a company and registering for the the 'Flat Rate' VAT scheme = £90,000pa gross. Watch out for IR35 though and Corporation Tax. It means that you have no job security, no 'Bells & Whistles' (Pension, PHI, Loss of Licence etc), you are employed as a co-pilot but are paid more than the most senior captain! Funny old world.
