You have been peddling this lie to your students since 2018, but nothing had been done then and nothing will be done in the future. In stead you have been reducing your fleet , so much so that currently you don’t even fly your own MEP.

Why should someone join your school to pay 20-40k euros extra in training fees, when they can directly join your competitor who own their aircrafts and save 20-40k euros AND get uninterrupted training
You kind of spelt this out yourself- you’re looking for the cheapest solutions, not for the best ones with training quality in mind.

you forgot to mention that the final and most important exam in a student pilots life, the CPL ME/IR skills test will be conducted on the MEP aircraft and since you rent it from another school, the availibility of this aircraft will be subject to the lessors scheduling, therefore should the lessor want their aircrafts back for any reason, your students will be the one doing the waiting in a critical phase of their training.
The methodology of leasing planes from another school for a critical phase where you dont provide a lot of hours on a certain aircraft type in the first place, puts the students at a risk of failing their license skills test and you do this all because you can save a few bucks.
Not to mention that the amount of waiting is increased simply by the nature of leasing , as you are a lithuanian registered company leasing non lithuanian equipemnt. Students quality of training is downgraded due to your cost and quality cutting strategies. It is not uncommon for students to have a 1 month gap between their final flight on the MEP and the CPL skills test due to the simple fact that you do not own training equipment
