OverTq - as I understand it there is a dearth of mil A2s at Strawberry because the military guys come off the QHI course and get sent back to the front-line asap and those that do stay don't stay for long so B1 flt cdrs are the norm instead of an exception as it was in pre DHFS days. So if all the experienced QHIs are civvy, it makes sense for struggling studes to fly with them. Why should you get paid more for flying with a duff student than a good one anyway?
Don't want more for flying with a duff stood etc, just the same as the military are paid (minus that festering x factor), and the recognition for the experience levels (most of the civvies have in excess of 7000 hours).
