Julian and SAS,
You are misunderstanding me, and taking what I said out of context. Shoddy equipment and time constraints are NOT what we were discussing (and incidentally, those exist in the helicopter instruting world too). People had been saying that they would not give their all to the job because they weren't paid enough. I still say that if that is the problem, you either leave the job, or do it wholeheartedly anyway. That applies to any job. I don't need to have been an instructor for years and years to say that, and incidentally, I have been hanging around flying schools for quite a long time, with my eyes open to what goes on.
