That is porn to me, lucrative porn. 

jokes aside I guess we all find a system of study that work, got to keep things in date 🤷‍♂️and keep your skills fresh. That’s the only reason I do it. 

I thought the divers would be on more than that tbh.

Aliens choose to land in the West. 🤣

 

I’m an avid Scientist Fiction reader, Cixin Liu being my current favourite. He really opens your eyes to the scope of the universe and the potential multiverse. The idea that we’re the only intelligent life in our galaxy is extremely doubtful. The idea that we’re the only intelligent life in the universe is laughable. 
 

Cixin Liu’s concept of “the dark forest” holds a lot of merit. That any intelligent life would and should keep silent in our galaxy since ours is around 13 billion years old and we’re extremely late to the development table and we’d either be exterminated or subjugated by more technologically advanced species. 
 

Anyway, unless these other species have found a way to travel faster than light we’re safe from

all out stupid broadcasts to the ether.

It’s no bad money considering they could be sitting on their arse for 21 days or more.It’s not like they need to get their toes wet to get paid. 

I just did two trips back to back where I was getting over £1000 a day bonus to sleep on the recliner and clock watch till my next free meal. 😁

Air or sat ?

Those are the minimum, without going into detail you get an uplift for certain qualifications etc 

The hourly uplift for sat is 24hrs a day

It’s almost as if the current administration needs a massive deflection from something…..

So what are they trying to deflect as thats a top level trump card they are pulling, if your correct like.

Either tbh.
I couldn’t imagine sat divers taking home anything less than £1k a day (and I’d like to think double that really).
They are the ones actually undertaking the high value work, their individual wages must pale into insignificance when taken as a percentage of the cost of whatever job they are part of, because of these reasons unproductive ones surely wouldn’t get much/any work so those doing the job must be at the top of their game, and that is before we consider the relative risks and discomfort of the work. 

The figures in your table don’t reflect what I would have expected (but it’s obviously not an industry I know anything about).

I’m simply not interested in engaging you on the subject.
