I've never understood that. Around here we even charge student pilots
on their first solo when we stand next to the runway with our handheld
radio and a camera.

I would have to agree with you Robert, The student is paying for my
time. I have to eat and pay my bills also, If I have to be there for
the student, then they get charged, just like any other profession
where services are required. If people only knew that I spend 12 or
more hours a day at the airport and usually get about 6 hours of pay
for that time then they would be a little more understanding.
