Point Of Interest.

After reading the post on Helipro's cadetship I looked it up and had a good read last night - looks bloody expensive but you come out with crew ratings, several type endorsments, turbine rating and some comercial experience.

Where I am working there are lots of helicopters and lots of Kiwi's (guess - I dare you). So I ask the kiwi guy on the freq "what do you know about a mob called helipro doing CPL training in NZ" and he replies "I know a lot - there was a scathing story on NZ 60 minutes about a crash they had in the mountains around wellington - apparently traced back to dodgy maitenance and they are suffering badly from it - crash was probably avoidable at the least"

Intersting hey?? BTW I'd love to know more about why to stay away from the Tassie option - after all this is any anonymous and rumour forum.

Cheers
