Unfortunately for the new guys these new contracts are severely restricting their financial freedom. Fortunately for me I was able to sign a copy of the "old" BRK contracts, which still had the provision that the pilot is either self-employed or works through a limited company. The reason why the self-employed option was taken out of the contracts is because BRK can not make money there, nor can the Irish Tax Regulator. I know a few guys who have their BRK salary as a whole deposited into their bank account. Before, we're talking 2 years ago now, the only requirement for BRK was a letter of your accountant confirming you are indeed self-employed. Needless to say a lot of these letters have been forged.
