made me laugh today what the mail said about prince William and his new job [sun was sold out]he will be working nine and a half hours a day over 4 on 4 off,the mail said the long hours don’t seem to faze prince William,LONG HOURS,maybe the reporter at the mail should try driving hgvs for a week then say that if he/she reckons that’s long hours
I hate the royals.
Jim Royal’s my favorite, my arse

I think it shows just out of touch haulage is with the rest of society. 36hrs over 5 days is a normal working week. That’s an average of 7hrs a day, not 11 as it is in our industry.
We’re supposed to work to live not live to work.

agree with that
He did not choose to be born into that family… At least he is doing some good??

Is he doing some good? He has got the job because of who he is not because of how good he is, he doesn’t need the money so is giving it away good on him but what about some pilot who needs the job for his family but cannot get a job because of him.

And look at this way, if you or a loved one was in a bad way and he happened to be the pilot, would you really complain?? Me thinks not!..
I’m sure if he wanted to do something for society there must be some voluntary work he could do instead of taking someone’s job

Yawn…
I cant imagine there is too much voluntary ’ pilot ’ work. A royal actually working can only be a good thing IMO.

I thought a lot of these air ambulance services relied on donations to keep them running. If so then I’d say by giving his salary back is doing something for society.

Me too bloodsucking leeches,that’s all!!
William’s 
I thought you got a new job driving racing cars around…
Well I think he is to be admired for making an effort to do something normal, its fair to say that both Wills & Harry have successfully tried to earn the respect of the people.
I beileve the 4 on 4 off and daily work/standby hours are dictated by the Civil Aviation Authority just like the DVSA dictate our working hours.
He is employed by Bond Helicopters, who are subbies, not the charity so giving his money back to his employer does not make sense. Instead he is donating it to charity, one of which may well be the East Anglian Air Ambulance Trust.

Got to agree, my mate drives a shovel in the steelworks
Does 2 days followed by 2 nights then has 4 off, every 7 cycles he gets 18 days off, he takes home £550 every week, i.ve had my name down for a year, the fact i cant drive a shovel probably has something to do with that though
