I have heard the Darwin scene is particularly bad. The club itself is a nest of infighting and backstabbing. They refuse to pay pilots to fly at all, the facilities and aircraft are run down and tired, everything is broken or undergoing some form of half arse repair, the instructors are unkept, thong - wearing yobbos who need a shave and a good soak in napisan who regard pilots as smart alec wannabes who need to be kept "in their place".
And they can't seem to get pilots who will turn up and fly for them for free for some reason............... no idea why!
