Money Maker?

I've been thinking about the low standard of CPL's for a while, my own included when it was shiny and new. I found I learnt a huge amount in my first job just by talking to my more experienced work colleagues and the engineers. The thing is, even with an experienced career instructor, there are things that have to be learnt in the bush.

Therefore, I present "Grrowlers Advanced Flight Training with REAL Industry Experience"!


A combined charter/ flying school operation based in remote area which takes PPL's from selected schools in the cities and turns them into hardened GA pilots over 6 - 10 months.

They would be getting exposure to and logging hours in charter aircraft (210, 310, BE-58, etc), they would be "working" in the hangar doing 50 hrlys and seeing the systems first hand.

There would be no "There's a cloud in the sky, I'll call in sick", or "That's not a runway, its dirt and has trees around it."

They would understand the need for aircraft to make money.

Throw in the incentive of a possible job at the end of their training!

Accomodation and meals.

As much fun as boot camp!

For the special price of $60,000 (give or take a bit)

All while I (or whoever takes the idea) get fat and rich...

Seriously though, I think it would make some bloody good pilots.
