I have some questions about the PPRuNe Fund and it's use.

I would like to know why the PPRuNe Fund is being given away to other charities. When I enquired about the possibility of a loan from the fund to help with paying for training - which would have been paid back with interest - it was dismissed out of hand.

Has the Fund been used for other purposes than helping people who wish to become professional pilots? For example have deposits been paid using the Fund? If so why?

Are there any annual accounts audited and publically available for viewing by people who have donated to the fund?

Other than the people who have been put through the Astreaus 737 & 757 courses have any other pilots been helped by the fund?

How is the fund organised and administered? Does it have any form of charitable status or is it simply run as a bank account with two or three signatories?

I do not intend these questions to come across as hectoring or accusatory, but I feel they are valid queries.
