@EddieHeli- Yeah I think it is designed to help the flying school as it works out at £3 an hour if you use the retail price of the lessons. Probably more like £2 an hour if you were to use the cost price of the lesson.
If a pilot walked up to me and said 'Do you want to sit in the spare seat' i'd jump at the chance!
@RTN11 If it was a paid job that I agreed to do (I was under the impression that I would be doing a range of tasks) then I wouldn't be complaining. It works out at roughly £3 an hour, below minimum wage.
@taxistaxing Yep i'm 17.
@fatmanmedia They do have a dish washer but you have to wash it up by hand first, they only use the dishwasher to dry the pots& pans. The aircraft are maintained by trained people, but if they need help they would ask the pilots instead of the volunteers.
