Unhappy

Hi Tambaran,
I,ve just read your posting. I am a Brit,learnt to fly in Sydney. I,ve been in the Australian industry for roughly eight years. Ended up working for two flying schools there Bankstown Helicopters and Helimuster.
I ended up finishing my instructoer days with Chopperline in Caloundra. Chopperline were with out a doubt the more professional and dedicated to thier students, and cheapest. A delightful chap called Tub Mathersom ran the school. (ex lt col, Oz army to which he also ran the army training school before he finished with them)
In retrospect, I would have done all my training with them. I,m now flying Offshore with many of his ex army pals,whom all have lots of respect for him and his school.
Becker was a new guy on the block just starting out, as i was leaving.
hope this helps. There is far more prospects in Canada!!
