Who pays who?
Flying 999 - you did`nt read my post properly. I said Austin Aviation are paid about £80 per 10 minute flight. I have no idea whether or not Senior Helicopters charge £290 - they may do - but they pay Austin Aviation about £80 of that as a training provider able to carry out the flight.
Previous posts suggest Senior Helicopters and Austin Aviation are `in it together`. I have`nt seen any evidence of that in my time at the offices of Austin Aviation, although I believe they allowed Senior Helicopters to use their facilities at one point before Senior Helicopters established themselves at the airfield?
