Self fly hirers are like yesterday's news....
Why should a prestigious flight training organisation be bothered with winging self fly hirers, that don't pay that much money , compared to a guy who is now training for licence. Wake up..... Any FTO treats its mal adjusted, self fly hirers, may come back with the aircraft bent and lie about it, with certain issues.
Now if you want to grab the FTO by its testicles than buy an aircraft, and allow them to lease it, then they will take it from you and treat you seriously. These guys are in it for the money.
Self fly hirers are secondary income,.......like yesterday's jam.
