If it was on a training flight, apart from the initial type circuits, then it serves them jolly well right.
I maybe out of touch but I am under the impression, all training and checking should be in the simulator at an approved training institute, eg Flight safety or CAE etc. To me checking (including the circuits) on the aircraft is outdated, false economy and should be relegated to the scrapheap.
If it is the same outfit that charges for interviews etc., then it could not have happened to nicer people, IMHO.
