WWW seems to have changed tact from supporting UK GA to JAA EA, ie.
No it won't. Even if half the British PPL's currently training in the US don't ever train due to the extra costs the UK GA scene will benefit from millions and millions of extra revenue every year. Less pilots yes. More money for UK airfields yes.<
and..
This costs jobs in the UK flight training industry and undermines the development and expansion of UK (or JAA) GA flight training.. .. .Its all very well saving a few quid on your PPL course by going to the States but then you shouldn't cry about their being no Flying Instructors jobs for you in this country once you have that coveted CPL
to...
If BAe move your job from Prestwick to Jerez (as they did) then you can hop on the next flight to Spain and relocate without filling in a form and continue your career.
Seems to me that WWW argument doesnt hold any water now asby BAE moving to Jerez, or any other JAA member State, the upshot is the same - GA in UK goes downhill because no one is in the UK to do any flying they are all abroad!!!
JAA or US the money is outside the country.
Not everyone wants to work in Spain, OK if you are single but what about those with famailies, jobs, houses, etc...?
What do you want to do WWW?
Keep money in UK GA or not?
