Re: Cayman Islands Police.
I seem to remember this job coming up about 12 months ago, is there a reason why (good or bad) it seems to keep appearing?

When you first saw the advert the unit was just starting. I believe the vacancy is caused by the outgoing pilot moving to a training job in the UK.
..somesuch........

Did you apply to Shell?
Or are you back in the goon suit for the winter..............

No change - Shell Aircraft
The money was laughable (90k EUR, 52% tax!) Can't imagine they will succeed in finding current pilots of any, er, "quality". I guess they are not what they used to be....or what I thought they were?

You do realize, if we are talking dutch taxes here, you don't have to pay the 52% over the whole amount, and if you are coming from abroad there is this handy thing called the 30% ruling, which allows 30% of the salary to be paid out tax free.
So if it is 90.000EUR they offered
the 30% ruling means you are paying tax over roughly 60.000EUR. The 52% bracket is only for the income above 56500EUR, and below you have a couple more brackets with 42% and 33% (roughly)

Perspective is everything 1m2.... from left seat on equal time to office junior 5 days per week, every week, 90k is a joke. It's true that I wouldn't have to wear a rubber bag.....
As for the tax Torquestripe, you would be correct for any company other than Shell. Unfortunately, they have done a deal with the Cloggy govt so they keep the 30%. The employees get sod all of it. So that would be tax on the whole salary. You sign it all away when you join........
I am quite disappointed as I had heard they treated staff well, but I am not seeing any evidence here. I also hear they are losing people.

"Normal" pilots in Europe get paid up 300$ a day-only paid ON time, and only if flying as Captain-and these pilots WORK for their money (Utility flying).
HEMS-pilots make about 75000 Euro per year (before tax) in Germany.
Think again about your expectations...

I heard some just want to stay as it's pretty good. But what do I know. I'm just curious. Are they losing people?

Perspective
There are parts of the Eurozone where one quarter of the workforce are unemployed. Your joke 90k could feed at least 6 families but somehow it's not enough for you.

Yes that may well be the case, but with the average mid seniority captain in the UK North Sea earning approx €120k and the Shell job probably looking to attract that sort of experience level. 90k is a big step back.

To some of us to be expected to accept such a big step back in pay and conditions merely for the "privilige" of working for one of the biggest companies in the world is offensive.
There will always be lesser paid professionals unless you are on the lowest rung of the ladder. That does not mean that it is acceptable to join the race for the bottom in terms and conditions.
If such a job "sells" for a salary that is not on a par with industry norms, it is setting a new and lower standard for all of us.
