What's that my accountant is always saying: "There are lies, damned lies.. and statistics"?? There are all kinds of reasons some Soar students didn't get their tickets. Soar were selling most flavours RPC, RPL, PPL, CPL, ME whilst they could so it wasn't just a few CPL students that missed out, there were a host of others also. Some I know quit when they could and headed for the relative safety of other YMMB flight schools, some got scared off flying altogether while still others hung on and got clobbered right royally.
(As a small aside, I do find it amusing that the 08 Sep ERSA entry for YMMB specifically added RAAus aircraft to the PPR list. Maybe, like many who grew up herding Foxbats in the circuit, they never want to see one of them yellow perils ever again.
