Hey Bossies,
You really ought to hurry down to the docks before the bad times get good, I hear even the tea lady has been given a rating on the Huey by another unqualified instructor at the non existant flight school doing a technical with an unqualified backyard mechanic without a clue about the basics in an un airworthy helicopter without insurance.
Also, I hear you have to sign your life away on one of "blatent sheat's " (alias LSD) rental agreements that charge you sales tax that goes into those long pockets of his so you may as well ask for a before tax rate. Unfortunately his short fingers mean that the real qualified drivers have to buy him wine gums so that he can join in the war stories while "under the boss's table".
Also, be wary of the corrosion factor, those "Ghost Hueys" have been on the water for the last 2 years being rowed out from the junkyards of various parts of the Americas, and LSD has sold bogus shares in them based on altered pictures of Jannies huey.
Ja Bossies, you have a very rosy future there, just like all the others before you who can talk so fondly of their memories.Just think of the excellent reference you can put on your CV for your next job.
Fly on the real Hueys.
