It is not a new idea that young pilots trying to build their hours get pulled into instruction to get there, it is a stepping stone.
In these parts they are paid peanuts and will be on their way as soon as they are able to get a better gig.
Too many ppl's will find themselves being taught by someone waiting for the next nappy change.
It isn't that they don't care, they just don't have the passion for it as it is a means to an end and the student does not get the greatest experience.
Some operators build their business on this model.
Stuff what helicopter you want to learn in, go somewhere where you will be taught by someone with actual experience and where there is consistency with whom you fly.
Nothing worse than getting a new face every time you arrive, something also very popular these days.
