Rebel without a clue ?
Mike jeff it is you that seems to be a bit on the clueless side.
The main issues are:-
- Total disregard for Cabinet Office regulations regarding the increase of prices, some of several hundred percent
- Introduction of new fees for doing nothing more than making paper , the £80 charge for a certificate of fitness for flight is a good example as one time a licenced engineer could issue this
- requireing ALL aircraft to have a contract with a part M company to issue the paperwork that your engineer is doing now ,Annual cost £500
- Engineers will soon have to have two licences one for EASA aircraft and one for BCAR aircraft so double the fee.
All this is just the tip of the iceburg the fees are increasing for all sorts of things the aerodrome licence fee for Seething airfield has been increased by 480% from £600 to £3800 in three years hardly a resonable increase in line with inflation.
Mike jeff it is time that you wake up to the fact that the cost of flying will go up fast as the volume of business falls as people are priced out of flying, flight safety will also suffer as pilots cut back on the flying that they do to the minimum to maintain there licences this will drive up insurance prices.
