What is it with pilots and resistance to change? I found nothing unusual in a company being taken over, better than going bust. I bet if you dug around there are probably very good reasons for the sale.
Whatever you may think of Cabair they are an expanding business and looking at the last accounts a very stable one. If GA is to survive then I amfraid we will have to get used to the coporate faces rather than the romantic notion of these cosy little flying clubs. Romantic notions do not pay the bills.
Take a look at the Cabair fleet, modern well equipped aircraft with a charging structure that supports proper maintance and upgrading. They are also an organisation that I would feel comfortable handing over a course fee up front.
