Little perplexed by the evolution of this thead...
Complaining that you were not offered a job in Cambridge after a checkflight, seems to say more about your flying abilities than the CAC and is perhaps more than I'd want to share!
I understand CAC sets, aspires to and apparently maintains very high standards. This also appears to be perceived as a negative thing. Not sure why that is either. I wonder if there's an element of sour grapes from those that haven't been able to make that grade?
As for egos...please...look at what's been posted.
Irrespective of all this, the inital question remains valid. How is the industry going to mainintain a supply of good instructors, in the face of self sponsored type ratings, ready supplies of borrowed money, no real requirement to hour build prior to getting an airline break and the impending MPL.
Hoping the mods allow this to stand...
