is it really the CEO mistake???!!! He is only a businessman
It's no longer "business" when the little outfit starts breaking laws to save a few bucks.. especially in the world of aviation where these laws are safeguards to maintain minimum levels of safety & standards. From what I've been reading of Ayla Aviation on PPRuNE, if indeed factual, this school would have been shut down or suspended a long time ago if it were operating anywhere else in the world.
Congratulations on getting your JAA-PPL though. Welcome to the club!
I got my JAA-PPL in the south of England in a little more congested airspace... London TMA just above my head!
