I was at the meeting this morning where this was announced and the details are as follows.
- the business now enters a period a consultation with staff with regards to the proposed closure in Feb 21. This is the earliest target date they have at the moment.
- Around 90% of EASA/UK CAA students will complete their required training prior to the closure. The vast majority of them will do so by January. Cadets are leaving nearly weekly as they complete their training out here and this will continue to happen. The small number that do not will be slotted back into the UK training as a priority.
- Options for NZ student to transfer to other NZ schools being explored.
- Options for Singapore and Hong Kong CAA students who need to transfer to other training providers are being explored.
Most importantly, its the staff I feel for. They are absolutely incredible, and care massively about us as cadets. We all knew this day was coming, it's been obvious for a few months, but it doesn't make it any easier for them.
