Wrong, as i said before , i think we all know a self employed person must look after their own books!! The actual grey area is the dividing line between employed and self/employed.Ask any HMCR inspector and you will get a different answere everytime!! Hence case at the tribunal. And as i said, if the s... hits the fan, its belly up time for a lot of flying clubs.
I don't think so. As I said before I think it's being a bit melodramatic. Most of the clubs I have been involved with have made the split between full time and part time without a problem. Part time with other jobs are able to be self employed, full time are on PAYE. Just the same as the rest of us.

I think with the changes in the rules and the return of the PPL Instructor we will just see a shift away from the hours builders and move to more part timers and the old backbone of career Instructors.

What it will do to wages remains to be seen.
