Sean: I'm definately on your side.
I've spoken to JC today and, unfortunately, he says Samson's not really interested in Flying Training and he doesn't think permission from the Airport would be forthcomming either.
But you never know unless you ask.
For the record I'm not part of Newcastle Flying School Limited, nor have I any connection with any ex-committee members apart from knowing some of them and counting some of them as friends.
I'd just like to see the members who can fly and those who want to learn to be able to do so.
clearfinalsno1:- I wasn't proposing to run a new club, I don't have the level of experience in aviation to consider that, and I have no plans...it just seemed that the instructors forming a kind of co-operative (yes probably on a self-employed basis I suppose) might make flying training accessible again. It was only a thought, but having spoken to JC probably not a viable one.
