I'm sure that everyone that works there really hopes that things won't change but Cabair aren't known for having that high on their list of credentials.
As for the 3 ex-directors staying on for '3 years at least' - you might be mistaken on that one, although my sources tell me that those 3 (and any non-director staff that felt obliged to leave) would certainly be sadly missed around Booker.

If/when you've been directly involved in GA in the UK long enough (ie 'in the industry' rather than a 'partaker') you may realise that all you say is about as untrue as it gets!
PS A quick edit to include the immortal phrase: "all that glitters is not gold"....
I am sorry I do not see the point of your comment to me? My point was that all that glitters is not gold.
Cabair are not everyones cup of tea and are certainly not mine. I fly from an uncontrolled strip and buy the aircraft I want to play with.
However looking at it from a business perspective (and I am pretty good at making money in business) they are stable and achieve economies of scale. They generally provide desirable aircraft for training and rental and charge a rate that sustains the business not one the reflects other schools endless round of failures.
I am sure non of the companies I aquired and often dismantled over the years were always ahppy about it. But thats business.
Oh and be careful about assuming my providence when it comes to aviation.
