Presby, are you the new moderator for the WMU forum? Remember that this a forum that delivers rumors and facts that affect all wannabes in way or the other. As such we are all able to make comments concerning Wrinkled Plums first comment.
I cannot comment on the tax and social security problems of instructors, however your comments about instructors leaving etc requires some examination. During the past 18 months 6 JAA Ground Instructors have left and not been replaced. In the past 8 months 6 JAA Flying Instructors have left or "Your contract is not being renewed". (WMU does not fire people, too many questions could be asked.) At least 5 JAA instructors will be leaving in the near future and most probably will not be replaced. This does not show any commitment to the JAA program, especially when the WMU management states that they were not going to actively seek any JAA contracts in the future.
For BA and others to decide to return to WMU there will need to be a radical change in attitude on the part of the Aviation College management and the higher management of WMU. I suppose we can debate the ability and integrity of these for some time.
