Bit of selective editing there, 912UL.
I also pointed out that the DCTO at the BMAA was already partially approved by the CAA and is already deemed to be a "suitable person" as far as the CAA are concerned, as I understand it.
As such, the rumour of impending doom is somewhat exaggerated, I fear.
Back when the BMAA only had one engineer in the office, in the late 90's, they lost him and worked OK without a CTO at all for 9 months. I don't seem to recall the PFA rubbing their hands with glee at the prospect of "taking over" back then...............
