Maybe this is the case because the initial "narrowing down" was done by Helicentre without Bristow being involved at that stage?
Bristow only got involved at the final selection stage.
I have heard good and bad things about Helicentre so as always buyer beware, do your homework and don't believe all the promises training schools make.
Also I personally would advise my kids, if they show an interest in aviation, to go fixed wing rather than helicopters because of future prospects.
