So, Bloggs is unprepared, could have all kind of valid reasons for that, so perhaps you can help him with some tips to manage his time to fit in flying with other commitments, rather than just pat him on the head and patronise him?
Clare if the trainee rocks up unprepared do you not think that the instructor (most I know do/would) would comment, nicely, that to get more bang for his buck that they should do a, b, c. If the trainee decides to ignore the advice what then. Do you say bugger off your wasting my and your time (again I know a few that would/have done) or do you look after the business and if they are happy, keep taking the money. The beauty of the military is self-motivation combined with reaching a standard in the required time and not a requirement to keep the company financially viable. You turn up unprepared that's a fail.
