I am just curious. What is a "charter frame of mind?" I see basically that a flying instructor deals with customers every day, their students. They need to get them to their destination (their licence) in the shortest period of time (cheapest) and at a time that suits them (when they can come in for training). Why do you need to do single engine charter to be able to do multiengine charter? What difference does it make if your multi hours a logged up by doing IFR teaching? When you are trying to get your required lesson plans synchronised with ATC requirements and other commercial pressures of the flying school. How is that different to charter pilots getting their pax from A to B when they want to? There seems to be so much "my d k is bigger than yours" syndrome between the two groups when quite simply there seems to be stuff all difference between the two!
