It also amazes me that people (myself included!) are readily willing to accept the legal liability that goes with flight instruction for such paltry rewards. It is not only the employer that is liable but the FI as well.
Will PPL FI's, who would in the main be part-time 'self-employed' operators be willing to accept the liability of the mass of health & safety legislation that will apply to them abd with effect from March 2008 the Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act 2007 for the pennies they will be paid?
