dazjs - you obviously don't have an iota of a clue of what goes on.....
The ATC Central Gliding School parents our 29 gliding squadrons (spread around the country). This means the have to maintain the glider fleet (I have no idea how many gliders we have, but guessing at a minimum of 2/3 per squadron means probably over 100 aircraft. All of which need airworthiness certificates - annual inspections, etc etc. The instructors also need to have annual check rides, etc, etc and theres all the niff naff and triv to do, so they don't just "glide all day", but provide a professional service to the UK largest gliding school operator and best voluntary youth organisation..
