I think I agree with you. Unless anyone else can correct me, a club is not a commercial venture in the strict sense. And Bob Pooler isnt teaching flying. Anyone who flied from Sherlowe flies either as a qualified pilot or a pax.
As I said, I've withheld a lot of my immediate comments & reactions, in the interests of nailing down exactly what this chap is rambling on about and what we (the pilot community) could possibly do to limit the damage he is causing.
By the way, Bob Pooler has expressed a wish NOT to write to the paper concerned, as he wants the local furore to die down. My sole purpose is to determine whether anyone can talk some sense into this guy. I'm not sure that I could right now...
