Still they have to find an FIC Instructor/s with the availability to do the course. The last guy they had lined up at Elstree to do that left for a far better job and salary.
Chances are you'll starve before you get the ticket anyway at the rate Cabair can train instructors at the moment as the majority of their instructors are working their proverbials off trying to reduce the back-log of 4500 hours on approved courses if they don't count people in ground school and then it would be closer to 6000hrs!! (some of the Commercial Instructors have as many as 12 students allocated to them - CAA allows only 4 per instructor).
Go figure why they are reluctant to return calls - sponsorship is fine, but if you don't have the staff to carry it to conclusion it isn't going to happen!
