Seen it first hand mate...

I went to mic b's to have a look at learning there, apparently to fund his own cpl, a lot of door to door selling was done when speaking to other schools and also experienced pilots, my own reservations were confirmed.

To quote one pilot (aus) non school affiliated " a holiday camp with helicopters"

After meeting ' the man' and talking to him yup he lives up a cloud of his own a**e smoke.

Did a trial flight as well, was appalled to see the chief instructor get out of the helo with the rotors running and leave a newbie sitting in the cockpit wondering what the f**k to do, funny there was a rotors running incident later the same year, similar configuration !

Hey i'm not knocking the people working there but slick b**sh1t by the skin of yer teeth was what i thought.

And for all the doubters who see its my first post, so... go have a look for yourself.
