pdex your question is interesting about my experience with HFT. I simply made the point that a previous comment suggested they were a little more professional than other operators and that they were taking on staff with experience. I respectfully suggest that professionalism is based on many factors and experienced staff/instructors need to be flying in a commercial environment as well as instructing if they are truly able to pass knowledge onto CPL students.
Glad to hear pdex that you are gainfully employed post your CPL training as there a very few jobs out there even for highly experienced pilots - where and what type of work?
