To be fair when I first heard how much they got paid I was shocked. Damn it, scrapping along teaching people to fly heli's(and paying god knows how much for the training) and just about getting enough money to gether to pay my bills. All I should of done was pay £2000 and got my HGV licence!! In fact I have a student who is a HGV driver and he is happily capable of paying for flying heli's.
