I think its the cost of doing business at EGLF and Sim training
Capt & FO £95k
Plus NI/Pension/LOL/Healthcare @ 28% -£26K
Full Service in the Sim x 2 £30K
Hangarage at EGLF £30k
Maintenance for 600 Hours at say £60 per hour - £36K
Insurance £25K for commercial work
Doesnt leave much left over for management fees and to pay the 14 postholders and management/ops staff it needs to keep a modern AOC running, in fact I dont know how they do it for the money.

G-SPOTS,
Unfortunately we work in aviation - the correlation between cost and revenue is often an odd calculation - at the end of the day it still needs to be competitive to other options available.
In your calculations the management fee is fairly cost effective - but the hourly rate very high as it should include Mx, Insurance, parking at BBS (where the aircraft appear to be based.)

Honoured that EBJ has it's own special mention; but Christ, we had to carry Moutrie with us all the way. He kept suggesting "ideas" and trying to make things "better". We never even had a fighting chance!
Hi Tom, hope you're well mate! - Steve F

Staff travel
I gleaned from the other locked post on Blink and wondered if it was possible to use staff travel from one company as a business tool for another? Is it like an interline agreement of some sort?

There have been one or two posts that come close to the border of libel.
PPRuNe's policy on this is: If you make a statement that is anyway considered contentious and might cause a named name or named company to look to their position as far any possible action against PPRuNe is concerned. It is a requirement that the person making the post will required to provide PPRuNe with their private details such as name and address, email etc. and would therefore be liable for their own costs in any litigation.
Please therefore, be very careful that you do not make comments that can damage both PPRuNe and yourself.

Definition of libel
Libel is a published false statement that is damaging to a reputation. If what is written is true then it's not libel. I saw what I saw and several people heard in a communal area what they heard. I've also heard a lot more in the Farnborough crew room on other subjects so I will stand by what I've written.

Say what you like..... just pass your real name address and a contact number on to the people who run the site, so that they can pass it on.
Not an unreasonable request if you're sure of your facts, not having a go in any way.
