Tell you what mate I won't bother helping someone up the ladder. The machine goes with a commercial pilot who is paid but he doesn't log the hours the ppl guy does I am not interested in logging hours as it doesn't effect me any more
As CF says it is a win win, in fact the ppl gets a huge amount of experience at a fraction of normal cost.
Now tell me what would you prefer to do hire a S300 to hour build or fly a Hughes 500 / 341 at the same cost ?
