@ todai

Their CFI was killed only recently during an overhead rejoin. I've done some instructing there, and to be honest, the safety culture didn't impress me at all.

Some fairly accurate comments, except


Massey. No. CTC. No.

Reasons: Watch them when the weather is bad or the crosswind is up

Ho hum, as usual it had to be brought into any topic about flying training. Anyone else want to get something off their chest while we're at it?

Now back to the topic: Dunedin.

I know we just said stop.

But we all aren't horrible pilots. Yes, there are a fair few. But, majority of the NZ cadets-the ones who will end up working in GA and working their way up instead of buying a FO seat in a 320- are pretty good pilots who can handle their own. Unfortunately just a few cocky's who think their s*** don't stink.
