Max,
>>I also no that the majority of reponsible operators are very sceptical of someone who will work for nothing knowing that that person will most likely move on as soon as renumeration is offered by someone else. this is not good for a company wanting student training continuity and customer confidace.<<
I respectfully disagree (but it also depends on what type of operation we are talking about too I suppose)
Most of the operators I talked to (Given a few by the head of my training facility)about possibly getting time in this fashion stated they know that those of us taken on would likely move on at some point, there were others that stayed long enough (They might have liked the work too) that eventually a salary was worked out.
For the operation I'm moving towards to time build, there would always be a supply of new pilots, and the costs are cut by the win-win trade off Helidriver was referring to.
If I didn't understand your position, please let me know, I may have been mistaken.
I intend when I hit the time where I might be considered, to go in and be at my best.
I want to fly at this stage, it's not about the $$$ yet.
