Desperate people are part of this ongoing problem for anyone trying to forge a career in aviation. Why when faced with an appalling offer do people not walk away and wait for a better offer to crop up? The instructing game is very transitional even in a recession threrefore it cannot be accepted that you must take what you can find ASAP. This above mentioned attitude shown by flying schools is a fantastic warning sign that the operation is seriously untrustworthy and morally corrupt. Those who fail to avoid them and fail to walk away deserve the ****e terms and conditions which they'll inevitably end up with IMHO.
Wait and you shall be rewarded. Be imatient and you shall suffer I'm afraid.
VFE.
