On Track,
Thanks for the clarification. The person I was talking about was neither of the two people you mentioned. Pleased to hear the new guy is much more enlightened.
The club indeed did run a very reputable flying school and a well respected Part 135 operation, particularly so back in C C's day and even after he left.
I could never figure out why the club was being forced out. It's so sad when egos and agendas get in the way of what should happen. It's sadder still when organisations do it to themselves, as in this case apparently, though it would seem they had some external help as well.
