For the poster that has failed the 170a three times so far that 170a signatory (by not signing it) has saved you over £2000 in test fees alone!!!
No, it has cost him £300 by being put in for the '170A test' when he wasn't ready for it. The other issue is that it is in his financial interest to keep failing student's 170As. If included in the course, this conflict of interests is removed.
Besides, there is no need, as you point out yourself, for the signatory to actually fly with the student for the CPL. You have just agreed that the flight and the payment are unjustified. Ooops!
You will all end up paying for the highly experienced instructional staff somehow, either directly or through higher hourly rates etc.
Again, no. Most schools do NOT charge you anything for signing a peice of paper.
PS EK4457 see page 10 of the brochure............it's there, it dosen't mention cash though to be fair
I haven't read it and I will not read it. However, like I said previously, there will be no mention of cash only, no questions, no reciept payments there.
