The unfair aplication of extra tax in the UK on oil companies and on corporate aviation will of course have fall out.

Shell management, what about the unfair raising of fuel prices at your petrol station round the corner from me, when the cost of crude goes up, within 24 hours so does the cost of a litre of fuel, however when the price of crude goes down, the price seems to remain the same.

I have very little sympathy for your complaint about unfair taxing of oil companies, they have been making tidy profits on global demand, isolated conflicts and market speculators.

We the tax payers are also paying more taxes...why shouldn't the oil companies?

shell management

I heard differently - corporate aviation is a pretty small world.

What I heard was about a degree of office politics, operations management fallout with head office, and consequent sackings.

So, are you the one in line for the aviation manager or chief pilots jobs now that these positions are vacant?

What is your corporate jet experience?

If what I heard is true, then your post goes to prove what you truly are, shell management...and, if you are truly in 'management' it shows that you cant tell the truth and, therefore, are of little integrity.

In fact, with that attempt at a cover up, it is my opinion that you probably should seek help.

If it were not for the unfair rises in fuel prices there might have been jobs for these unfortunate crew to move into. As it is there is not much out there.

south coast, I am uncovinced that the user "Shell Management" actually works for Shell. He strikes me more as an elaborate troll to try and make them look bad; surely Shell would not employ someone with such little common sense as to post some of the ill-advised messages that he has under a Shell banner...

I think the troll is the one who suggests that something as petty as office politics is the controlling feature in a professionally run, blue-chip corporation flight department.
