Not really I was on paye.

Some of the arseholes I came across running schools when i was an Instructor were shocking in the extreme. And the industry will be well rid of them and thier flying rafts.

You will be surprised how many it does affect the PAYE self employed can be quite regional. You could find that large areas of Britain suddenly loose a fair number of quite well known schools. And you know what these airports are like once there isn't a flying school on site the doors will be shut landing fees increased and another GA airport is gone.

Actually I just don't want PPL's to loose money when schools go tits up.

And the sitting all day for 10 quid is being looked at as well by the minimum wage unit. Cabair got done for that a couple of years ago. So sitting in the school unpaid answering the phone is going to be out the window as well.
