CAA have tried for months to close them down but to no success! Anyone at CAA drive a red Ferrari???
Yep, pretty close, CAA have not been trying to shut him down at all, he has a few minions in the Dept in his back pocket, as has quite correctly been mentioned, smoothing his way through.
I was present in company when he was loading fare paying passengers into the King Air that he flew down as PIC with 4 bars pasted on his shoulders, with his PPL licence, the call was made to a certain Part 135 inspector to get his butt out to Rand and stop the fiasco before it departed, his reply;
"Ah, it's been such a long week, I don't have the energy right now, I will be there to confront him when he returns on Monday"
He was duely told, that should anything happen to the flight, we would hold him personaly responsible, to which he said OK he would call us back in 5 min, well still waiting for the call, and his phone was swiched off the rest of the weekend.
This corupt thieving ba
ard is not alone on the take.
