Dear 2Close,
I have just read your post with the Cardiff Academy of Aviation thread on PPRune and must admit that I am a little annoyed as being to referred to as an 'Uninterested Oik.'
You write the post as if you have never been to visit us on the northside of Cardiff as yet, yet you think you know enough about me and my colleagues to refer to us as 'oiks' which according to the Oxford Dictionary makes us out to be unpleasent and crude.
We are just as disappointed as all of you that the flying club has folded, I am good friends with many of the pupils, instructors and staff and to see them out of work and forced to continue flying elsewhere is upsetting to me.
In relation to the north side parking, well that is the decision of Cardiff Airport and not of ourselves. We are a handling agent and it just so happens that our minimum handling rate is £65. That is not something I drew up but a standard rate for our company nationwide. If a person wants to fly into Cardiff we make a point of advising them of the costs involved and if they still wish to visit us then I can assure you that a C152 will get the same service as a GLF5 or BBJ. I can assure that I/we are very interested in our customers and will continue to offer them the best possible service we can whatever aircraft thay arrive in.
Thank you
Ryan
