My thoughts are that a company offering vouchers for flying experiences with no knowledge of the industry and a good relationship with the operators should not sell vouchers. The members of the public when buying the vouchers should also be able to discuss what thier actual requirements are. Recently the CAA have asked voucher suppliers to discuss with operators the use of trial flight vouchers when the voucher holder as no intention to learn to fly, that then being a commercial flight. Maybe the pressure to voluntry do this could be the demise of companies like RLD. On the other hand, and not with any figures in my head, if the industry loses many of the public who wish to take an helicopter experience flight then that could have a great impact on the industry.
