Not that I over think this but I've never known if Helicentre is a sausage factory for the benefit of Helicentre or if there really is something in the way they do business. The scholarships must have been going for a decade or more I guess, do these pilots go on to rewarding careers in the main? I suspect that the answer to that likely answers the OP initial point.
