VikingJo,
I would suggest a pinch of salt until you have firm confirmation on everything to do with FYRs terms and conditions - for example many will tell you the SSTR and lack of pay for first year will leave you well out of pocket, yet (slightly tenuously) someone I 'know' is halfway through his first year and looking at about £40k apparently...pretty damn good for a first year wage...
Even if it is true you have to do those in your own time, you still can't be flying whilst you are and FYRs model needs their aircraft in the sky every moment they can be...
