Chronos hits the nail on the head - just how difficult would it be to mystery shop those providing cost sharing flights?? Those whose remit it is are maxed out and someone needs to call time.
I can't see much to criticise in that clip of Grant Shapps, to be honest - I'll re-listen but didn't hear any dismissal of medicals. Not sure I can face listening to the whole 1hr 40 mins of it. I'm not terribly sure that this aspect of the discussion is relevant to the thread. Maybe time to start a new one devoted to Wingly Vs AOC? I've no idea about Mr Shapps or his track record but I do know that he's the best advocate GA has in government and for that reason, in general, I would listen to his views favourably. Anyway, let's find another thread for this aspect of GA and standing on this particular soapbox?
