WWW, if they're charging you for the repair and not doing it, that is called FRAUD. Get a receipt (tell them you need it for your tax return- if you're a summer only contractor like I was for a while, you may need to file a tax return yourself). Take some photos when no one is looking- purely in case someone else prangs it before the repair, and you end up footing the bill for it as well. Then hang on till the end of the summer- get the hours in. If it's still not fixed at the end of your contract, ask them for your money back!

What an outfit you have to put up with!! Are they trying to wait until the next 50/150 servicing to fix the strobes, nav lights, landing light and who knows what else? Or are they not going to bother tofix them at all and intend to try and pocket your 'fine'? Capt H has a very good point about fraud, I hope that your company realises that! Best of luck with trying to get a job with an AOC operator in the future!!

Did my IMC there and was asked to pay a damage waiver premium (can't remember how much, might have been £10-£20) to protect me against the £500 or so insurance excess if I damaged one of their aircraft.
Shouldnt this money be being used to pay for minor mishaps?
Is this normal in aviation ?
No other school has asked me to pay this.

WWW you are obviously having to bite the bullet on this one but may I advise you and your co instructors to have a look at your contract of employment.If there is nothing in it about breakages(and I dont suppose there is!) By letting this fine stand you have renegociated your contract verbally in
your employers favour.To remedy this you will
need to emphisise that your payment was a one off and get something in writing in future, or the previous note about having to pay for a write off personally is dangerously close to the truth.Any bunch of
shisters who cannot budget for breakages are certainly up to pulling a stunt like that.
Life is to short to work for gits!!!

Contract of employment? Terms and conditions of employment? Employee handbook? Induction? Not likely. You're hired. You're fired.
My company, my world, my rules etc etc
I am not whinging really as I knew what I was getting myself into when I took the job. It'll make an interesting opening few chapters in my memoirs one day...
