Coming from a business point of view, I can see why an organisation might want to make an initial charge for a survey. but why do they need to keep on charging £700 ish. year in, year out. How much more work is the organisation doing than it was doing before? Even at £50 per.hour that's a lot of work for someone to keep the records straight. For an organisation who look after several aircraft of the same type, surely that's a money printing exercise?
I'm with bose-x on the assertion that I shouldn't be responsible for the back room costs of running their organisation. Imagine sending an invoice to a customer for £700 per.year for you as a supplier to keep up with Health And Safety legislation? If they need to put up their hourly rate to remain profitable, so be it. If I'm wrong then why is their wild variation in what is being charged?
