ten years to go to old fart status
Yes! Yes!!
Listen to the gripes from clients who have not been happy with some established 'schools'. Offer a service that is, I quote, "a thousand times better" and you can charge a higher daily/hourly rate.
I offer an extreme example maybe but my last student would have rather paid my prices from the start than have his last instructor's lack of experience actually 'crash' his helicopter within 8hours of the course.
ps.Come on Dennis are you saying you have only charged 50 quid an hour??
