Its also worth remembering that the job of the CAA is to ensure operator compliance with EU-OPS, thats their main responsibility. As long as airlines/TRTO's etc. comply with the rules then thats their job done. They're not an agency who can manipulate the current circumstances to assist the job prospects of those seeking to enter this industry.
The commercial activities of those offering SSTR's are of no concern to the CAA as long as they fall within the rules; therefore as CEJM has asked, on what basis could an approach to the CAA be made?
