I 'm sure there is plenty of money in the system at Lasham, it's just a case of the people running it taking advantage of others.
If you wanted to build up hours for a CPL I couldn't think of a bigger waste to time, it's hardly the type of flying you are going to need to be proficient at, either during or after professional flight training.
There is either a 'waiting list' or not but advertising for an unpaid flying position on PPRuNe is shameful.
If Lasham need a pilot to do 'work', either paid or unpaid, they should employ a professional pilot, perhaps a local instructor, rather than come out with all this BS about waiting lists, etc.
