flyhelico, I'm unsure if you're trying to troll me or you genuinely have some misgivings about the CTC Flexicrew contract. I shall give you the benifit of the doubt of course.
My comment about flying hours was in response to my "puny 500 hours" which you stated will not allow me to find a job elsewhere. I was just stating that you do not fully have knowladge of my situation.
With regards to my flying ability, the details are between me and the Captains/Training Captains at my airline, of which Norman Stanley Fletcher is one. I have recently passed my recurrent LPC/OPC/LOE, take from that what you will, but no doubt you will find a way to turn what I just said into an attack.
It seems you have misunderstood, approx £5 per flying hour is accrued as holiday pay and is paid when on leave. I am an employee of CTC(ARL), I am not self employed. Same goes for all CTC Flexicrew.
I'm not going to get dragged into a childish argument, if anyone has any serious questions, I'd be happy to answer them.
