Nellycopter,
fantastic post, and you are SO right. Completely agree with your point of view.
But don't expect a lot of sympathy on this forum.
Baby Pilots being taught by Baby Instructors - no wonder the drop-out rate is so high for PPLs that can afford to buy a helicopter. The fear and anxiety seeps from teacher to teachee - just as you imply.
As for the RTF and FTO changes, this has been in the public domain for a long while. Get used to it.
If any of you care to check out the number of training centres (all types) for pilots (rotary) in the UK compared to all other countries, particularly the USA, you'll be staggered to see how over-supplied we are in the the UK.
Apologies in advance to any one who takes exception to this post, please feel free to PM me.
