The governments been training scores of spotty teenagers since 02 courtesy
of the student loan program in R22s and 300s.
They can all join the RNZAF now with their 150hours.
I heard of a few doing a full license and then joining the military
because that was the only flying job they could find.
They can just ride co-jo after boot camp to get recurrent
and then figure it out by themselves.
And yes being paid by the taxpayer the whole time.
