The CAA don't care, they are not your friends. They do not consult with industry, they do not take account of your views, or the damage they create in industry. IMHO they badly need a rocket up their ass, which would probably come through an exension of the all-party parliamentary group on general aviation
here being extended to cover professional licensing. If you try to find a responsible manager at the CAA you cannot, their heirachy is hidden, there is no realistic way to complain about their behaviour. You cannot even find a manager to complain to.
