ETS deadline, did you pass?

[mattman]

So I am sitting on the loo, and thinking who made there deadline. Got lots of left over paper for my morning exercises? :E

Got plenty of paper if you need it!! Two folders each thicker than the Flight Manual.

Actually got it in with about 9 hrs to go. I think about 8 to 10 goes before it would be accepted.

We have just received an Invoice for the Subsistence (!!!) charge of £2130 so for this year my guess on costs is as follows;
Verifier: £960
Initial Application £750
Subsistence Charge – £2130 !!
Man Hours over the last year estimated 100 @£80/hr = £8,000 (includes two London meetings)
Total £11,840

Benefits to operator = Zero
Benefit to the Environment =Zero
Stress Levels = High

Next Year we will have to pay the Emissions Charge plus
Auction costs next year – Unknown.
EUETS Eurocontrol Support Facility if used €400 --£350 (I managed without it this year)

More paper.

Just got this rubbish out of the way for this year and now they throw the APD tax at Private Operators.

I'm off to take the tablets before those nice people in white coats take me away for a rest.

I feel you pain, luckly our Member State has not caught on yet to charging to use the system, but it is only a matter of time.:mad:

The three tree bunnies in the department are so swamped it makes me smile, and feel a bit more warm and fuzzy, that this is of there own making.

I also was down to the last innings with 1 to go when those two reports swept in. :ok:

So now to the next issue at hand.
