Good on ya PJ,
I also hate operators that exploit new pilots.
It does happen from both ends though. I know of a company that tried to give low time pilots a break by giving them a job(yes, with good wages) and gave them pilot training in astars and R44s(130-200hr pilots
). In return the pilots agreed to comit to the company for a certain time(done by a gentlemans agreement)The first pilot left without any notice after 3 hours in the astar and the 2nd pilot left after 4 hrs in the R44 and 3 hrs in the astar. Both left because they thought they had better job offers
Now I know for a fact that this company won't ever agian try to help low time pilots to break into the industry.
just my 2c
