Nich,
You [somewhat unbelievably, given your previous 100% success rate on understanding what people are saying] are missing my point.
No, of course I'm not prepared to give a personal guarantee to anyone....the point is that I'm happy to say "I don't know enough to make realistic comments on it, hence I won't" when I'm out of my depth. This is something you CLEARLY can't/won't do. Tell you what though, are YOU prepared to offer the first 6 grads off the Netjets scheme double their tax saving per person over the first year if you're proven wrong? [bizarre concept, I know...but you know it might just be possible]
In this thread alone you have made out that you have a full complete and unassailable understanding of Europe wide employment legislation, tax law, the innate workings of OAA, NJE, the full workings of the European banking system, currency markets and fluctuations, a full understanding of the contract that these guys and gals will sign and probably nuclear physics as well. If this truly was the case, then believe me, NASA would be paying you a huge sum of money right now...but it seems they're not. You have been told by people who are in a better position - or those who have been advised by the relevant professionals- to know than you, that you are wrong, yet still you persist in trying to convince the world, in the face of overwhelming odds that you are right.
You hang your credibility on the back of working for an hour building operation and being a mod student and - latterly - the fact that you have three generations of aviators in your family. Whoop de do. What do you know of my background that makes you so sure that I know nothing? I'll give you a clue, you have [again suprisingly given your hitherto 100% success rate in getting things right] NO idea about who I am, what I have done with my life or my family background. Yet you presume, despite knowing nothing of me, that you are right and I am wrong....interesting... What if, I don't know, I'd been working in the banking industry for 10 odd years...might I know something about banking then? What if I'd seen the Netjets contract....oooh, crazy notion! Let's just suppose I have plenty of aviators in my family, plenty of friends who are professional aviators and even suppose my WIFES family are aviators as well....but you're right...that couldn't be the case could it....no-one could know better or have a different but correct perspective than you on any single subject....
Has it not occured to you that perhaps, just perhaps, some of the 40 odd people now on the Netjets scheme might just have thought to check out some of this stuff and found it to be ok....like the guy who went to Oxford Uni who is on the course....or the several from Loughborough...one of the better universitys in the UK. Or maybe one of the 3 students with Masters degrees that I know of who are on the scheme...I mean they're clearly as thick as the proverbial.
Still, I suspect Adios is right, you won't ever concede even partial incorrectness even if Professor Stephen Hawking worked it out from first principles for you. That's right Nich, the sky is green and grass is purple...I give in...you're right....
