I'm at a complete loss to understand the motivation of all this. From what has been written BRK insist you are not an employee; in fact you must be a registered self-employed person or some other similar status. As such you are independent. Therefore you can employ who ever and what ever method you wish to satisfy the local tax laws of the country where your company is registered. BRK can not force you do differently. You are self-employed and offer your services to BRK if they choose fit to use them. To allow BRK to dictate what you do and when etc, etc, is outside their jurisdiction. However, I do appreciate that rocking the boat might mean they do not require your services very often; but putting illegal shackles on you should be not be in the script, and not too difficult to counter. RYR need pilots, especially cpts.
