Dance with the clouds.
Your statement holds true for nearly all training organisations in NZ. Also there hasn't been any movement until the last 6-9 months and I would guess that instructors all over were starting to wonder where the next job is coming from.
Massey are not better or worse than alot of other organisations out there. Having the callsign Massey and being tied up with Student loans etc first is why I think a lot of the flak comes from. No one gets up set when alpha bravo charlie doesn't know what they are doing or goes a long way downwind. Also at Ardmore they are pretty much all one in the same when it comes to joining the circuit. Mid down wind I bet none would make it back to the runway, not a requirement, but if it can be done I know where I would rather be putting down.
