To be fair, how many top-quality people from civil aviation have ever applied for a job at the CAA? By this I mean company Chief Engineers, club CFIs, Senior administrators from the airlines, etc. Very few I suspect.
I know many people at CAA, most of whom are either ex-RAF, or moved after being made redundant as BAe closed yet another site. I honestly don't know if many people from our side of the fence actually apply for these jobs? I certainly haven't - have you ever visited the towns around Gatwick?
Just for the record Tiger Moth, do you actually belong to any of the airsports organisations?
