ginjokey is right :

Expose him for the nasty little grub he is
. .......Current Affair!?.............Might need some cash for ASIC and new Photo licence.
TPB,
he said he knows the big guns in town; do you think those guys would listen to him? someone, who got the sack from NAC & Air Frontier?(or resigned before being sacked)
There's no place for black market in aviation.!!! Remember, you paid $35,000-$40,000 for your C licence and what, and extra 10 for your CIFR. How much more do you have to spend, to piss in those type of guy's pocket to get what you want.
working for skydivers;same s**t (the smell might quite not be the same:O). Why do pilots keep working for free and keep investing and investing and investing. Where is the return?

would be interested to go and ask phil.....:*

At the bottom of this and every PPRuNe page is the following statement:

As these are anonymous forums the origins of the contributions may be opposite to what may be apparent. In fact the press may use it, or the unscrupulous, to elicit certain reactions.

May I suggest that when reading this and other threads, one keeps this disclaimer in mind?

The flight school inferred disputes the facts contained in the first post.

Of course they do!
 
Of course they're going to dispute it!

Like they're going to admit to ripping people off! That's like asking a Perth used car salesman whether all the cars in his yards are roadworthy 'bargains'! "Ah, yep. They sure are. In fact, this Mazda over here near that sawdust truck has just had a new gearbox put in...."

Prior to my present employment I made similar enquiries (quote for a renewal in a Baron) and was told much the same. Basically a charter rate for about two hours or so, charged on VDO. :yuk:

I realise that an instructor should be paid on VDO, but the reality is that the TESTING OFFICER that would've flown with me is a full time salaried employee.

Honestly, I have nothing against the people running that show or working there, all seem to be decent people, but whoever's setting the prices/rates ought to get a slap of reality.

Merely taking advantage of the fact that there's nowhere else in DN to get it done, as someone else pointed out earlier.

Doesn`t old mate HH or otherwise known as the lepracaun, charge $1000 for a baron endorsement? Or something similar. Don`t like it, go somwhere else.

Stars Jewel 26th Aug 2005 03:35

Speedbird here is a link you should read before you make such claims. Looks like things have changed alot and from what I've heard HH is no longer a partner in NAC.

Lets think about this.

Those of you who know P**L, If questioned about the extra 0.4 , I am sure he would of started talking about all the big guns he knows on the field!!! I can guarantee that he wouldnt of that!!

As for the charging, Find out what other ATO's charge around the show . I think you will find it all in the $90 to $125 p/hr. The a/c charge, yep thats up there but yep find somewhere else, get used to remote area prices

And for the putting your foot in ****, yep be very careful in this industry who you can to who, when and were coz someone always knows ya.

yep he is also an avid reader of this site.

:ok: :ok:

Ah.....nothing like a good laugh after a day like today has been.

Obviously, slice, judging by the reaction you've elicited, you were correct! :p

S'orright V-tail, I'm not stabbing ya, just amusing myself.
