pac - nope sorry mate I know eff all about flying in Indo hhahah I just got here - Ive only got 1000hrs and that all done in the wonderful landscape of the okavango delta, Botswana!

Rawhammer - no you dont pay for the training, the company does and most will bond you for a year - but not for the entire 50hrs, just for things like learning how to bounce a 206 properly and checkrides, medicals and government fees etc, one company takes the piss entirely and tries to bond you with a 2year monster that is not amortised.

I worked my one year off and left not owing the company a thing, with an extra 800hrs in the sack and a bunch of life long mates.

Not a bad deal at all.
