Understand your point there
WWW. The instances I refer to occured towards the Christmas break where alot of students, if left till the Friday (last day) to travel home could not have done so. The HOT declined approval, hence, alot of students had over-night stops on airport floors and extra expenses due to cancelling flights and rebooking - in some cases with a totally different airline. Big bucks - around £600 to £700 more than initially planned.
In the scheme of things? Not much I guess but Xmas pressies for loved ones back home went on the back burner and
alot of students were peeved by this. Not me I must add so this is not a personal gripe just an observation.
Oh, and most of those students concerned were not at the flying stage at the time and knew full well, as did management, that classes would be cancelled on the last day as indeed they were! But they opened the bar up and gave out free booze which one may class as a sleazy little move but hey, it was Xmas after all....
Minor point but I thought I would bring it to the attention of those looking at possible FTO's.
