Geez, I can think of a few slipshod operators where the above scenario pretty much describes the "initial training and line indoctrination" that the new hire pilots get...

On a more practical note, there are several videos posted on YouTube that show the whole starting process for a Twin Otter. Go there and have a look, and that will, I think, provide you with sufficient background knowledge to either write your script, or get hired at some of the lower-end operators in this world.
